Verdict

Atlantic Story, Samarinda and Montpellier look the three to focus on here and the vote is given to Samarinda. The selection is chasing a four-timer here and it could be foolish to take on this course specialist. He is clearly progressive and he has a good atititude and he looks sure to run another big race here. Atlantic Story looks his chief rival as he looks to be on a handy mark at present and he probably needed the run after a break last time at Thirsk. Montpellier was a little disappointing last time at Goodwood but he wasn't granted a clear passage that day so he may be capable of better this afternoon. Cape Hawk is a course and distance winner and he does have a good draw here so this 3-year-old from the Richard Hannon yard has to be of interest. However, for our pick we will stick with Samarinda.
