        Verdict

        Sonic Anthem won well last time and is taken to score again at the main expense of Robbie Can Can and Sovereign Spirit. The selection was a wide-margin winner here last time and although his turf form is not great, he did appear to be suited by the fibresand. This trip also seems to suit and he should take plenty of stopping. Robbie Can Can has been knocking on the door and deserves to get his head in front. It is hard to see him being out of the frame but he may find one too good. Sovereign Spirit was only narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton last time and he had no luck-in-running on his last visit to this track. Amir Zaman is a course and distance winner who is also worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Sonic Anthem.
