In depth
Verdict
Fiddles Music, Lenwade and Tshukudu are three against the field in this open affair and the confident vote goes to Fiddlers Music. The selection won well last time out when defeating Armentieres and if he copes with this surface he will be hard to beat off this mark. Lenwade rates the main danger as he was a fair second behind Daydream Dancer last time and is sure to be suited by the drop in trip. Tshukudu is another worthy of respect as he was a fair second in a seller behind Ivory Coast last time but this is slightly more competitive and for that reason he is opposed. Bretton and Jaolins are both dropping markedly in class so are worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Fiddlers Music.
