In depth

Verdict

Sunday Symphony, Kingsholm and Mobarhen are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Sunday Symphony. The selection put up a really solid effort on his debut when second behind Motivator at Newmarket¿s July meeting. The third home in that race was rated 73 and with plenty of improvement anticipated from this Godolphin colt he looks the one to beat. Kingsholm ran well behind Velvet Heights last time but that form has since been let down and as a consequence he looks worth taking on. Mobarhen has shown plenty of promise on his two runs to date and as today¿s pilot Nicky Mackay has a 75 per cent strike rate for Sir Michael Stoute this season, he has to enter calculations. Confidence will be fuelled if there is any market support. King Zafeen was disappointing on his debut so will have to improve to trouble the principles, and for the winner we will stick with Sunday Symphony.
