In depth
Verdict
Global Challenge gets the confident vote with Verchoyles Lad and Litron rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Vodka Bleu last time out when he was well clear of the third. If he can reproduce that effort here he will be hard to beat.Verchoyles Lad rates the main danger he won well over course and distance last time out when defeating Carly's Quest but this looks much more competitive and for that reason he is opposed. Litron is another worthy of respect he won well last time out when defeating Ashtaroute but this race has more strength in depth and although the longer trip should suit he will need to improve to score. Of the remainder She's My Girl has yet to prove she stays this far the same comment applies to Solway Minstrel and for the winner we return to Global Challenge.
