In depth
Verdict
A wide open seller here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Knight Of Silver Alheri Georgic Blaze and Javelin and we will take a chance on the last named. The selection is taking a big drop in class will not mind the ground and off what looks a fair mark he looks the value bet in an open affair. Alheri rates the main danger on his latest second behind Gallion's Reach but all his best form ids on fast ground and he would not want much more rain so he is passed over on this occasion. Georgic Blaze is another worthy of respect. He remains on a fair mark and goes well fresh so he could run well at a price. Knight Of Silver is another that could go well but he ran in snatches last time and he locks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achived. Of the remainder Lunar Lord is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Javelin.
