      Verdict

      The betting suggested much better was expected from Berkshire Savvy at Windsor last time and he just failed to catch the winner. But he drops back down in trip for this and TAKE ME TO THE SKY is preferred. The latter was beaten less than a length over 7f at Newmarket on his recent debut despite being left at the start and Ed Dunlop’s colt gets the vote on that form. The remainder with experience make no appeal while Silver Samurai, a half-brother to a winner, may prove best of the newcomers.
