In depth

Verdict

ROMAN WELLS looks the obvious solution in a race that shouldn't take much winning. Michael Halford's charge couldn't hold Swish here last time but battled back well after being headed and that experience can help him see off the newcomers. Ger Lyons has two entries, both by Intikhab and related to minor winners, while Machine Head is out of an unraced mare from a speedy family. Teo's Music had plenty of chances in her first campaign and didn't show much but she's out of a winner over this trip who is a full-sister to Teofilo so she may do better in her second term.
