Verdict
Bijou Dan, Resplendent Prince and Samson Quest look the three to concentrate on in this seller and the vote is given to Bijou Dan. The selection would win this easily on his best form and although he was slightly disappointing behind Pawn In Life last time. This looks easier and off a fair mark he looks the one to be on.Resplendent Prince is another dropping in grade but he is best when given an easy lead and as that does not look likely here he looks the one to be on. Samson Quest won well last time when beating Christmas Truce but this looks tougher. Law Breaker has the ability to go close and could run well at a price but he has yet to win over this trip and may just need the run after a 113 day absence the remainder Sol Rojo is from a yard in form but is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Bijou Dan.
