Cd Europe gets the vote in the seller with Aswan and Global Achiever rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third in a claimer behind Only Time Will Tell last time out. This looks easier and despite top weight he will be hard to beat. Aswan rates the main danger on his latest third behind Downland but the drop in trip has to be of concern and for that reason he is opposed. Global Achiever is another that could go well on his latest second behind Axis Shield but he has been done no favours by the draw and is becoming hard to win with. Wings Of Morning also won well last time out but this looks more competitive and his overall profile leaves him with plenty to find. With this in mind for the winner we return to Cd Europe who will be hard to beat in this grade.
