    Verdict

    This should go the way of Godolphin with PELIGROSO just getting the call ahead of Chock A Block. The selection won easily at Leicester and although the opposition wasn't particularly challenging the nature of the victory is heartening. With US pedigree the surface shouldn't prove a problem and we take him to score. Chock A Block also runs for Saeed Bin Suroor and although he was less than inspiring at York most recently he has to be respected given he is rated the same as his stablemate. Nideeb won a Listed race as a juvenile but hasn't won since. However, an improved performance behind Timepiece at Newmarket latest beating some higher rated rivals provides encouragement that a top run is in the offing here. On official ratings Island Sunset has plenty of work to do if she is going to be involved in this race. She has raced against some tough opposition lately, including at Doncaster most recently behind Ceilidh House but has looked a little outclassed. The main positive for her attempt here is that she has three wins from five runs on the all-weather and the others have not raced on the artificial.
