Verdict
Phantom Stock, Vincent and Minivet look the main protagonists in this tight handicap and the confident vote goes to Phantom Stock. The four -year old from the Willie Jarvis yard was a facile winner when defeating Glory Quest last time and although he has risen in the weights he will be hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Vincent rates the main danger he won well when defeating Vanbrugh last time. However he to is rising in the weights and he does not have as much scope as the selection so is opposed. Minivet has drooped to a handy mark and could also go well but although he travels well in his races he finds little off the bridle. Of the remainder High Policy is from a yard in form and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to side with Phantom Stock.
