Verdict

Some of these, like First Maite and Private Seal, could hardly be more exposed so it may be worth giving Perfect Punch another chance after he posted a solid effort over course and distance last month. Say What You See is another to consider for a race of this nature as he has remained in good form in translating his all weather form back to the turf with solid efforts in defeat since the start of the season. Kylkenny is another that goes well for an inexperienced jockey and is entitled to be involved in the shake-up despite the fact that he concedes weight away all round. However, none make as much appeal as Perfect Punch and it will be no surprise to see him shrug off this 5lb higher mark against this caliber of opposition.
