Verdict

Dario Gee Gee is given the confident vote here with Indibraun and Tony James the others for the shortlist. The selection won well on his debut at Doncaster when defeating Persian Rock before being narrowly beaten behind Cornus last time. The extra furlong will help here and as this colt still has plenty of scope for improvement he is put forward as the one to beat. Indibraun ran well on his debut in a race that has worked out well before winning at Doncaster last time when defeating Rockburst. He is another clearly on the upgrade and he will not be far away at the finish. Tony James is a well-bred sort and with Darryll Holland taking the ride a watching brief on the market is advised for any signs of confidence. Society Music won well on this track last time and although she is clearly not one of the leading lights in her stable, she will be suited by the step up in trip here and has to be respected. Midnight In Moscow is another to keep an eye out for in the market for any signs of confidence, but we are happy to stick with Dario Gee Gee as the one they all have to beat.
