In depth
Verdict
Lord Baskerville, Alizar and Rehia look the ones to concentrate on in a trappy Seller and the vote goes to Lord Baskerville. The 3-year-old is top rated on official BHB ratings and is taking a big step down in grade. With this in mind he is the token choice in a desperate affair. Alizar rates the main danger on his latest third behind Emaradia and with the booking of Jamie Spencer catching the eye he will not be far way. Rehia is also worthy of respect and he was a fair seventh behind Smart Starprincess last time only beaten 4 lengths and he is sure to be suited by the step up in trip. Of the remainder, Limit Down is from a very shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market, but we are happy to side with Lord Baskerville.
