Verdict

Sound Accord, Moshahed, Dr Hart and Pantalaimon are four against this big field maiden and the vote goes to Dr Hart. Brendan Powell's runners are in superb form and this Dr Massini gelding put up a decent enough return on a sound surface when third behind Mount Oscar at Kempton last month. Timmy Murphy is booked and the combination of the initial run plus the extra furlong here can see him improve and score. Stablemate Moshahed does look the second string, but don't rule him out completely after a recent pipe opener, though he does have a fair bit to find. Sound Accord should be suited by decent ground and went well here over 2m 4f when last seen out in February. He is well related and should possess plenty of ability, so his chance is respected if straight enough. Pantalaimon has achieved just about as much as any of these on the racecourse so far and is another who could go well with trip and ground to suit, though runners from his yard tend to need their first outing and preference is for Dr Hart.
