      Verdict

      A great start to the meeting and Sevillano can front-run this quality field into submission although If Paradise and So Will I will provide stern opposition. Sevillano has achieved much in his short career and it is clear that Peter Cundell has a horse of quality on his hands. He seems to handle any ground and we will side with him. If Paradise landed a decent prize at Haydock Park with plenty of authority. There is more to come on that evidence and six furlongs does not look to be a bridge too far. So Will I boasts solid classic form in his armoury having finished third to Salford City previously. Given that connections were speculating at a tilt at the French Guineas it is surprising to see the drop back in trip. La Cucaracha has raw speed to burn and is very much one to follow win, lose or draw. Rum Shot was Henry Candy's best juvenile last term and is watched in the market on reappearance. Many with credible chances here and Sevillano just secures the nod.
