Sedgwick, Bernasconi and Cap St Jean catch the eye here, where there are a lot of unexposed types, and Sedgwick may be the one to side with. The selection was staying on well in the closing stages when a close second at Wolverhampton on his second start, and that was an improvement on his debut run. The son of Nashwan may prove too strong for his junior opponents. Cap St Jean ran with promise on his debut to finish well for fourth and is liable to benefit from the experience. He can go well, and a similar remark applies to Bernasconi who was nibbled at in the market before finishing a close fourth on his debut. Sedgwick has the strongest form however, and he can concede weight all round.
