Verdict

Qadar looks to have all the ticks in the right boxes and gets the confident vote here over Waterside and Certain Justice. The selection travelled strongly throughout before getting up in the shadows of the post last time to beat Maltese Falcon. He is clearly in good heart at present and with Neil Callan in good form in the saddle he should take all the beating providing the blinkers work the oracle again. Waterside is eased in grade after a decent effort last time when he chased home California Laws and he should be the one to give our selection the most to think about. Certain Justice was slightly unlucky when chasing home Ektimaal at Kempton last time but although he is effective over this trip, he may be slightly better over 7f. Prince Tum Tum looks the best of the remainder, but we are happy to return to Qadar who gets the vote to lead them home.
