In depth
Verdict
The Cayterers, Sun Catcher and Daniel Thomas are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to The Cayterers. The selection has the plum draw and he should be primed for this after running a sound race to finish second behind Brunelleschi on his seasonal reapparance. He has his ground today as well and he looks the one to be with. Sun Catcher is a viable alternative but he was a little disappointing at Warwick last time and all his wins so far have come over 6f. Daniel Thomas should be suited by this drop in trip but he may be sharper for the run having been off the racecourse since February. Material Witness is a course and distance winner and could go well at a price, but for the winner we are happy to return to The Cayterers.
