Sensationally and First Fandango both set the standard here on the racecourse, with the former likely be the tougher of the pair to beat, but both are vulnerable to newcomer HIBBA, who is suggested. Marcus Tregoning has his string going well and his strike rate with three-year-olds here is 32 per cent in the past five seasons. Pedigree suggests that this trip will suit and a chance is taken on the Sahm filly. Garth Mountain is bred to stay further than this so it looks a good starting point for a colt from an in-form yard, while Eurasian is worth a market check. Vibrant Force has a bit to prove after a dismal effort last time and Hibba is given more in hope than confidence.
