In depth

Verdict

Rated 75, Beauty Sleep should figure in this grade after a string of placed efforts in maiden company. But RASMEE is less exposed and having shown major improvement when third at Wolverhampton last time, he gets the nod. Aid To Africa is another to consider stepping up in trip but Cap Canaille failed to get involved on his recent reappearance. Vermeulen has yet to threaten while Fastnet Monsoon is preferred to Clandon of the newcomers.
