In depth
Verdict
This is a weak seller and strong confidence behind any in the market should be well-heeded, however the tentative selection is Alasil who gets on well with his claiming jockey and shouldn't be inconvenienced by this step up in trip. Other horses in with a shout could include James Eustace's Pleasing Gift, who drops down into selling company for the first time today after showing a modicum of promise in maidens, and Karl Burke's Khanjar who is familiar with this quality of racing and could be one of the more reliable horses in the race. Of the rest, Cool Isle has won in selling company before and acts on the surface, whilst Ulshaw is a course winner and should be monitored closely in the market. However the tentative vote goes to Alasil.
