Pevensey gets the vote here with King Daniel and Diktatorial rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Royal Flynn and although having a penalty for that win he looks a progressive type and is taken to defy the handicaper. King Daniel rates the main danger on his latest second behind Poker De Siviola but he has had plenty of chances and he looks vulnerable to a less exposed type. Diktatorial was a fair sort on the flat and with his yard in form he should be noted in the market. Modicum ran well last time out when second behind Pukka but the bookind of Rose Davidson Tempers enthusiasum and with this in mind for the winner we return to Pevensey.
