Verdict
My Mentor, Private Peachey and Chant de Guerre look the three to concentrate on in this trappy finale and the tentative nomination is given to My Mentor. The selection was a fair second behind Revisionist last time out, that form has since been let down but selection has plenty of scope for improvement and from a good draw looks the one to be on. Private Peachey rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Just Oscar but he is not proven on this surface and is taken on with this in mind. Chant de Guerre is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Cavallo de Ferro but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder Inquisitress is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she is hard to win with and for the winner we return to My Mentor.
