Sir Michael Stoute continues in good form and Juror can add to his recent tally, Cross The Line and Bee Stinger could prove to be the main rivals. The selection hasn't been out since April when landing a Wolverhampton maiden in good style. Fitness is never a concern with this yard and although the handicapper has taken no chances he is open to any amount of improvement. Cross The Line has been a revelation this season and although a little disappointing last time out, does still look on a decent enough mark. Bee Stinger is another having a good campaign and gained another victory when winning at Folkestone last time, he should be capable of making the frame. Killena Boy could prove the best of the remainder, but Juror has plenty of scope for progression and he gets our vote.
