Verdict

Sharp Sailor was probably flattered by his latest third in a Listed contest at Sandown but Spirit Of The Law has been knocking on the door lately. Blue Waltz is sure to have benefited from last month's run at Salisbury and his stable is in good form but the three-year-old AZMAAM is preferred. Richard Hannon's grey was placed twice over course and distance before his latest third at Ascot where he was given plenty to do. He can race off the same mark back here and is preferred to Puzzle Time, who has her favoured going and is back on the mark from which she finished second at Ripon in the spring.
