In depth

Verdict

Pearson Glen gets the confident vote here with Sybellius D'artaix and Procrastinate rating the main dangers. The selection won in good style last time out when beating Little Bob ansd although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit he will be hard to beat. Sybellius D'artaix is another that could go well on his latest second behind Roadworthy but he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. Procrastinate has ran with promise in better races in the past but he may just need the run after a 162 day absence. Of the remainder Gettysburgh is from a shrewd Irish yard and should be watched in the market but for the winner we return to the progressive Pearson Glen.
