Verdict
Obrigado, a decent second over the course and distance last time, can go one better at the expense of Warden Complex, Idle Power and Point Of Dispute. Obrigado has paid his way this season and made a bold bid to make all here last time before running out of steam. His earlier form is not bad, including a close second to Master Robbie at Newmarket in May, and if he can be restrained a little more, he is well enough treated to add to his recent Ayr success. Warden Complex battled on well when scoring at Doncaster in June but just seems to have struggled off his new mark. Even so, he might be worth considering for place purposes, along with Idle Power, a fair second to Waterside at Goodwood and nicely weighted today. Point Of Dispute was too slowly away over the course and distance last time but is another that has hinted at ability in the past, and along with Instant Recall, mid division in a decent handicap at Newbury last time, can give Obrigado something to think about, without quite being good enough to stop our selection from obliging.
