Verdict

Serena Grae is preferred to Souville on her recent fifth over track and trip but PEARL SPECTRE makes most appeal. The latter has been placed in both starts and his latest third at Sandown is working out well. Almargo and Hostile Fire are likely to improve but one of the newcomers could prove a bigger danger. Attenzione and Maghaanem are worth a second glance in the betting but the 310,000gns colt Cannock Chase will probably attract more attention as he's a half-brother to Group 2 winner Pisco Sour.
