Verdict
Succeed gets the confident vote here with Stoneacre Fred and Correct Time rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth behind Egyptian Lord last time out in a better race. This looks easier and, off the same mark here, he will be hard to beat. Stoneacre Fred rates the main danger on his latest second behind Garlogs but he gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion, and for that reason he is opposed. Correct Time is another that could go well; she has the ability to go close but looked far from straightforward last time and is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder, Lady Zanzara could go well despite having to carry topweight but looks vulnerable to a less-exposed type and, for the winner, we return to Succeed.
