In depth
Verdict
Sammyjade has had plenty of chances and is certainly vulnerable but would have no problems winning this on last year's form and ran well enough at Tipperary a couple of weeks ago to suggest she could be good enough. However, MIRROR MAN looks to have a bit more scope and will be suited by dropping back in trip after leading for a long way in his last two starts, both over 7f. Voge attracted some support on her debut and didn't run badly so she can book a place on the podium unless the newcomer Simbas Song is decent.
