In depth
Verdict
Special Place gets the confident vote here with High Ambition and Seneschal rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Special Place and although rising in the weights he looks progressive and from a good draw he is taken to win again. High Ambition rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Millon Percent but this looks more competitive and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Seneschal goes well at the track and could go well at a price but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Cativo Cavallino has won his last two races but this looks tougher and for the winner we are happy to return to Special Place.
