Cape Melody has a little to prove in this grade nowadays while Satwa Dream has been racing over further and is still a maiden. Gallant Eagle has failed to reproduce a decent reappearance at Kempton in two subsequent starts so this may be best left to the three-year-olds. Blinkers could wake up Labore, who turned in a poor performance at Yarmouth four weeks ago, but SERGEANT TROY looks to have the better overall form and can recapture the winning thread today. He's started favourite in both starts since scoring at Warwick but a combination of a visor and a drop in grade should see him recoup some of those losses here.
