Verdict

Denarius Secundus gets the confident vote here with Foxmeade Dancer, , Risington and Our Jolly Swagman rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Foxmeade Dancer last time. He is weighted to gain revenge on that rival here and with the faster surface likely to suit him better he looks the one to be on. Foxmeade Dancer won in good style a couple of runs ago but was badly hampered in his last race and was consequently given an easy time of it. He will not be far away but he will need to improve to win of this higher mark. Risington was fourth behind The Local last time and with his yard in form he could go well but he has looked very onepaced and is opposed for that reason. Our Jolly Swagman has dropped to a very lenient mark and ran as if about to run into form when a fair fifth behind Nice Try so he should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Flying Patriarch is another on a handy mark but he has his own ideas about the game and with this in mind for the winner we return to Denarius Secundus.
