      Verdict

      Tasdeed gets the vote here with Sound Breeze and Alamiyan rated as the most likely dangers. The selection has caught the eye on both of his runs to date and he ran well despite being a bit green at York when finishing narrowly behind Mineral Star. He will handle some cut in the ground and this improver looks the one to be on. Sound Breeze is a nice type and he has won all four of his races to date. He justified his short price at Pontefract last time when beating Langford, and he has to afforded plenty of respect. Alamiyan is interesting as he has got ability but he is far from straightforward and after disappointing last time at Goodwood we are happy to oppose him. It will be a surprise if any of the others are good enough and for the winner we will return to Tasdeed.
