      Verdict

      Sanitiser finished well ahead of Burning Bush when scoring over 6f at Windsor last month while PICOTA was beaten only a head in another division of the same race. The former is penalised today which should hand the advantage to Mark Usher’s colt and the latter is also preferred to stablemate Adaayinourlife. Masterclass is a half-brother to three winners and makes more appeal than Silks Dream of the newcomers.
