Verdict
This is a seller in all but name and from a shortlist containing Knightsbridge King, Reflex Blue, Gregorian, Misbehaviour and Sou'Wester, we will side with Misbehaviour. The selection has been pretty consistent since November, this run of form including a win at Plumpton from a four-pound lower mark than today. Unplaced in a stronger contest at Sandown last time, he can go well back at this level. If Gregorian gets back to the level of form he was showing in November/ December time, he too holds claims, while Sou'Wester would very much hold place claims if getting back to the level of form that saw him finish second over course and distance in December. Of the others, Knightsbridge King is only three pounds above the mark he won from three runs ago, and he has tried longer trips in his last two outings, Reflex Blue usually gives a run for your money at this type of level, and Celtic Romance is lightly-raced and has given the impression that there is more to come. Finally, don't rule out a reasonable run from the evergreen Polish Pilot but, for the winner, we return to Misbehaviour.
