Verdict

With Xellence proving to be expensive to follow this season it may well pay to leave him alone for the time being. He failed to make the best of a decent opportunity last time and had few excuses in defeat. However, Sixhills is going the right way and should cope with the step up in trip. She hails from a yard that can do little wrong at present and may hold too much of a finishing punch for her largely exposed rivals. Battle Warning goes well here and along with Open Ground can provide her with stiffest challenges.
