Sicario is usually thereabouts in this grade without winning but Moon Over The Sea landed one of these contests at Wolverhampton last month when beating the re-opposing Turn Of Phrase. The former’s stablemate DESTINADO (NAP) was beaten less than a length by Dubai Jeanus here recently and given the latter won again earlier this week, Tony Carroll’s charge gets the vote. Persian Wolf has won at this level though steps back up in trip for this.
