Verdict

Iguazu Falls, Beacon Lodge and Fifteen Love catch the eye here with Iguazu Falls the selection. Beacon Lodge is related to a multiple winner at this trip and has shaped well in both starts to date, following a promising second at Haydock with an authoritative success over this course and distance last time. The bare form gives Clive Cox's colt something to find but he is clearly progressive and lightly campaigned. Runner-up to the classy Rio de la Plata on his debut, Fifteen Love has made no mistake since, scoring twice, including the defeat of a subsequent winner. He is similar to Beacon Lodge, a winning improver and looks a threat to all. Iguazu Falls was a close second in a Group Three last time having lost his maiden tag at Kempton and previously shown a lot of promise when a good second in an Ebor meeting maiden. His form represents the strongest on view, and with the Godolphin team knowing where they stand on a line through Rio de la Plata, Iguazu Falls looks the percentage call.
