Verdict

Accent looks a typical Sir Mark Prescott plot horse and gets the confident vote with Mighty Splash and Mighty Dancer rating the main dangers. The selection has shown very little in three runs to date at up to six furlongs, but with the step up in trip likely to bring about more improvent he looks the one to be on off what looks a leanient mark. Mighty Splash rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Mull Of Dubai but that was over a longer trip and the drop in distance has to be of concern. Mighty Dancer is another that could go well on his best form but consitency is not his strong point. Salonga was a fair third behind Musical Echo last time and is another with place claims but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achived. Of the remainder Khyber Knight is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Accent who gets the confident vote.
