Verdict
A very tricky affair may go to Emperor's Well, with Royal Windmill and Mistral Sky just two others to consider. Emperor's Well comes from a very shrewd yard and could be about to deliver the goods from what is a low mark indeed, now that he is dropped back to a mile. He valiantly tried to make all at Redcar just three days ago, but failed to last out and will be a major player if similar tactics are employed here. Royal Windmill ran well at Thirsk two outings ago in similar company and does at least have winning form this term, while Mistral Sky beat the fair yardstick Smith N Allan Oils at Leicester. Tropical Son and jumper Pailitas are others to consider, but in a weak event, Emperor's Well is the tentative pick.
