Verdict
Azygous gets the tentative nomination to win this competitive nursery with Guto and Out The Ordinary rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair seventh behind Majestic Missile last time out. This is much easier and from a fair mark and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Guto rates the main danger on his latest second behind Come Out Fighting but that form has since been let down and for that reason he is opposed. Out The Ordinary was a fair fifth behind Mouchoir last time out and is another with place claims but his best form is with more cut in the ground. Secret Night has chances on his best form but ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him last time out. Of the remainder Imperial Sword looks to be on a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Azygous.
