In depth
Verdict
This should fall to Pedrillo, who needs a penalty to validate his case for entry in the Cambridgeshire next month. Mrs Moh and Sawwah make the most appeal out of the modest bunch that are expected to chase the selection home. That said, Stoic Leader has bits and pieces of from that give him claims of going close and he could provide some value for anyone looking for a forecast play. Sawwah has paid his way over the years and has a habit of popping in when least expected. Conversely though, he also has a habit of putting in a stinker and cannot be relied upon too heavily in a race like this. Especially when he comes up against a progressive type like Pedrillo. Sir Mark Prescott has moped up in contests like this already this season and, assuming that Pedrillo is on the list to head to Newmarket next month, he should have little trouble taking this en route.
