This is a dreadful seller but something has to win and it looks a match between Broughton Knows and Sungio with the vote going to Broughton Knows. The selection was a fair second behind Come What July; in similar grade last time out. This looks easier and despite top weight he is taken to score under conditions that suit. Sungio rates the main danger on his latest third behind Spectested in an armatures handicap he also looks on a fair mark and will not be far away. Harik is another worthy of respect on his best form as he hails from a yard in top form but he has been disappointing of late on the flat of late so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Arabian Moon is dropping in grade and is one to note in the market but he has yet to win over this trip on the flat and for the winner we return to Broughton Knows in a desperate affair.
