        Verdict

        A field large in numbers but low in quality and on closer inspection not many can be given a serious chance of winning but the principals look to be Jarvo, Xpressions and Kalush and the confident vote goes to Jarvo. The Nick Littmoden colt was a good second behind Iskander last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Xpressions rates the main danger he was a fair fourth behind Sumerise on his debut and he is sure to have learnt from the experience so he has definite place claims. Kalush is another worthy of respect on his best form but he has had plenty of chances in this grade and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Whistful is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Jarvo.
