This is another weak race in which Ragasah, Colloseum and Jedeydd stand out and we will take a chance on Jedeydd as our idea of the winner. The selection shaped as though he might be returning to form at Ayr last time when finishing fifth behind Stellite. He is 8-years-old now but he still retains plenty of his old ability and he could be capable of going close at a big price. Ragasah won well last time at Lingfield when defeating Yamato Pink. He should confirm form with that rival today and as the only course and distance winner in the field he is afforded plenty of respect. Colloseum is pretty moderate but he did run right up to his best last time at Catterick when finishing second behind Authenticate. He looks to have decent place prospects but the chances are he will find a couple too good. Dial Square would have claims on the pick of his form but he has been nowhere near his best of late and he is readily opposed. This is another tricky race for punters to call and we will stick with Jedeydd as the value call.
