In depth
Verdict
Cadougold, a high class chaser at his best, would pick these up and carry if you could guarentee him putting his best foot forward, but he is a quirky customer and is not one to rely on. Peccadillo goes well fresh and will find this company more to his liking, having found the company a bit hot for him on his last three outings last term. Course winners Glamanglitz and Specialize are both on the downgrade nowadays, so this may be best left to Heracles, who has been in good form in minor events.
