    Verdict

    Marcel, Cherub and Chockdee look the three to concentrate on in this competitive affair and the vote goes to Marcel. The selection was second behind Astronomic at Haydock last time out but with Timmy Murphy back in the saddle today he is taken to regain the winning thread under conditions that suit. Cherub rates the main danger as he is unexposed and open to plenty of improvement and won well last time out when beating Iberus. This looks tougher but he has top connections and should be monitored closely in the market. Chockdee won well last time out when defeating Savannah Bay but this looks tougher and he has been beaten in similar contests before. Cossack Dancer was second behind Countess Point last time and is another that needs to improve and for the winner we return to Marcel.
