Verdict

But for a disappointing effort at Brighton last time, Bill Turner's Sigwells Club Boy would be a confident choice in this seller. And while that effort tempers enthusiasm one bad effort is always worth overlooking and, with a lack of serious opponents, the son of Fayruz has to be the TEAMtalk selection. Of the others Redcar selling winner Timeless Touch has struggled recently, while Regimental Dance is a rare runner in this grade for Sir Mark Prescott. Alan Berry's Key Oneothree takes a drop in class and could be a bigger danger but we think the favourite will be tough to peg back.
