    Verdict

    Army Of Angles gets the confident vote to win again with Roodeye and Josh heading the dangers. The selection is the least exposed in the field and won well last time out when beating Avertigo, he has plenty of scope for improvement and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. Roodeye rates the main danger on his latest third behind Suez. However Suez comes from the same yard as Jools so they should know where they stand with that rival. Island Sound the only other runner would have a chance on his early season form but he looks to have regressed since. This is a tough race to call but for the winner we return to Army Of Angles.
