Verdict

Mighty Fine, Sono and Sadler's Cove are three against the field in this wide open seller and the narrow vote is given to Mighty Fine. The selection has won his last two races in good style notably when beating Vinimix De Bessey with plenty in hand. This represents a drop in class and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Sono rates the main danger on his latest second behind Left Hand Drive but he often finds less than expected off the bridle and he is taken on with this in mind. Sadler's Cove is another that could go well as he beat Time To Roam last time out, however all his best form is on a softer surface and he looks opposable on that basis. Frankincense and Armentieres have both dropped to handy marks but appear to have their own ideas about the game so can not be put forward with any confidence while Amjad ran well last time out but consistency is not his strong point and for the winner we return to Mighty Fine.
