Sedgwick can take this race at the principal expense of Monsoon Wedding and Trouble Mountain. The selection has not troubled the judge for a while but he looks the type who could prosper now that the ground is changing and his mark of 65 looks to be relatively fair these days. Monsoon Wedding is a perennial front-runner. He seems capable of demonstrating his form regardless of going. Trouble Mountain has dropped down the weights and is still more than capable if everything goes in his favour. Thornaby Green revels in these conditions and can give a fair run for his supporter's money. Neil's Legacy is a likeable mare that arguably has it to prove over today's trip. Violent Velocity has ability although he has been difficult to catch right of late. Regular framemaker, Mystical Ayr steps up in trip in search of that illusive win. Sedgwick looks the pick and should go well at the likely odds.
