    Verdict

    Savannah Bay, Mine Host and True Courage all hold entries in the Vodafone Derby. Swing Wing, who kept company with some of the best last term is taken to score. Proven on all types of ground he should have the beating of his rivals on these terms. Savannah Bay, found out in Listed company last time, will have to perform much better here if he is to play a part. True Courage, a full brother to last years winner Storming Home, should make a better 3-year-old and no matter what happens here, he looks one to keep on the right side. Mine Host will need to improve on what he has shown to date and all-weather winners Prince Tulum and Elheba, look out of their depth.
