      Verdict

      This seller holds some intrigue with our vote going to Culcabock ahead of Sinalco, Jaccout, Afeef and Beyond Borders. The selection is the highest-rated of these and, much as he has to concede weight to some interesting rivals at this level, the best of his form, including over this course, makes him the one they have to beat at a trip that could well suit him. Sinalco was travelling well when falling last time when dropped to this grade for the first time. He should have improvement in him and can be competitive in this modest affair. French winner Jaccout also drops to this grade for the first time, so he has to be considered also, and Beyond Borders holds leading claims based on the best of his form, the most recent of which harks back to March and April time. Afeef has improved at this level for the fitting of cheekpieces and has also to be considered, but Culcabock sets the benchmark for the form and, accordingly, is the one to beat.
