Verdict
The top three have all won over track and trip but GIACOMO CASANOVA looks the one to beat as he appreciated the drop back in distance here last time and has the scope to defy a 7lb rise. Sister of The Sign had One One Seven behind last time but the latter probably needed the run and wasn’t beat far. It will be a surprise if any of the remaining trio manage to gate-crash the party.
