Verdict

El Passos and Sargasso are newcomers to note but THECIRCLEOFTRUST sets the standard on deeds done on the racecourse and consequently is selected. Tom George's charge showed plenty of promise on his debut at Ludlow when finding only a well backed individual too strong. It appeared to be a fair contest and the field finished well strung out so the form could amount to something and the experience is sure to have done him good. Sargasso is by Pivotal and made 210,000 guineas as a yearling; he's presumably had some problems but his pedigree makes him of keen interest and his sporting owner has plenty of winners in this sphere. El Passos hails from a yard that have enjoyed a decent first season and Timmy Murphy has scored on four of his eleven rides for them. A number of those have been well supported in the market so an eye should be kept on proceedings in the ring. They still have to prove it on the track though so we'll stick with Thecircleoftrust.
