Verdict

This can go to SAIL HOME who finished runner-up to the progressive Luck Of The Draw before winning her maiden over C&D three weeks ago. Julia Feilden's filly is expected to improve further on only her sixth start and can get the better of Eseej. The latter scored at Kempton last month but has won three times on this surface and can figure. Trachonitis was below par behind Dontpaytheferryman last time but that run is best ignored as he finished much closer to the same rival before that, while Amazing Blue Sky is also better than his latest run suggests and could figure judged on his best form on turf.
