    Verdict

    Silistra, from the same family as Group One winners In The Wings and High Rise, has been a major disappointment so far and is tried in a visor. Polish Corridor, has been well held at a lower level and should not be good enough, while Dalblair has looked slow to date. This looks best left to the progressive Sualda, who should be suited by this trip.
