Verdict

Kilmeena Magic gets the vote here with Ernmoor and Sorbiesharry rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Tiegs last time out and with this slightly shorter trip looking to be in his favour he will be hard to beat, despite top weight. Ernmoor rates the main danger on his latest third behind Contra Mundum as he was doing all his best work at the finish on that occasion and if ridden closer to the pace he will be a danger to all. Sorbiesharry ran on to be second behind Megalala last time and should be suited by this longer trip and with his yard liking a tilt at the ring he should be watched in the market. Bollywood is dropping in grade, while Arthurs Dream is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but is hard to win with. A tricky race in which Kilmeena Magic could be the answer.
