In depth
Verdict
Achilles Sun comes into this in top fettle having comfortably landed a similar heat at Carlisle last time but this is tougher and he has something to find on these terms. Captain's Log has been running creditably in better company of late and looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account for the current campaign. Michael Bell's charge is well treated at the weights and won't mind the testing conditions. El Divino has had his problems and doesn't look good enough on what he achieved over hurdles in the spring.
