Verdict

Balian can give in-form Ryan Moore another winner, with Tamino, Musical Romance and Succeed just a few dangers. Balian has been improving bit-by-bit, and stayed on really well up the Sandown hill when second to Glasshoughton last time. The latter has since franked the form earlier this week, and so his for is there for all to see. He should come good at the expense of Tamino who ran out of steam over six furlongs at Chepstow behind Vibe and will go well for his in-form stable. Musical Romance has topweight to overcome, but was very unlucky in running behind Fantasy Explorer at Newmarket, and as that one has also followed up since, Frankie Dettori's mount is also in with a chance. Succeed was nailed on the line by Stoneacre Boy at Southwell in February, but has an absence to overcome and is best watched, so for the winner we return to Balian.
