Verdict
Savile's Delight, Kennington and Egyptian Lord make most appeal here and the vote goes to Savile's Delight. The selection won in convincing fashion earlier in the week over this course and distance and on the evidence of that run he looks capable of defying a penalty. Kennington is the obvious alternative as he ran a sound race in defeat when chasing home our selection here, and although Savile's Delight looks to have progressed from that, on these terms Kennington has an obvious chance of turning the tables. Egyptian Lord looks held by our selection on his run last time out and although he remains well handicapped, he was a beaten favourite last time and he looks far from reliable. Maiden Investor has had a few chances now and is proving expensive to follow, so we will take her on and today and side with Savile's Delight as our pick.
