Verdict
A moderate contest to end with and Number Ten will never find an easier opening. He has been knocking on the door in similar events and he can prove too strong for Wiggy Smith, who has shown there is a little race in him somewhere. True Companion had little chance with Dexterity at Nottingham, but he didn't shape too badly in defeat and he, along with Sinamatella, can fight out the minor honours.
