Verdict

Trinculo is the pick over Our Little Secret, Special Gold and City For Conquest. Trinculo justified his short price when landing a similar event to this at Catterick in August, and turns out again for Dandy Nicholls here. He is not the force of old that is for sure, but should have the class to do the business again. Our Little Secret has a number of placed efforts to his name, and this is just about his level, while Special Gold was successful last time, and although he is no world-beater either, is another that can get involved. City For Conquest has winning form over the course-and-distance and looks best of the three-year-olds, but we are happy to go with age over youth in the shape of Trinculo.
