Verdict

There is very little to split Dafa and Private Seal on their meeting here last month but the latter has a handy pull at the weights and is given a slender vote of confidence today. Candy Anchor is no certainty to build on the promise shown in her latest start - even with Frankie Dettori doing the steering - so Galey River is taken to confirm the form and emerge as the best of the rest. Whereas Six pack is probably best watched on his debut on the Polytrack and is hard to enthuse too widely about today. Therefore, with the weights and a liking for this surface very much in his favour, Private Seal is selected to grant Julian Poulton an extension to the 13% strike-rate he has amassed with the older horses amongst his all weather string this year.
