Soffooh gets the confident vote in this seller with Meru Camp and Peggys Flower rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second on only his second run behind Algol last time out, looks sure to improve again and in what looks an easier race he will be hard to beat. Meru Camp rates the main danger on his latest second in simil;ar grade behind Jost Van Dyke but he is very one paced when full pressure is applied and is opposed for that reason. Peggys Flower is another worthy of respect on her best form but looked far from straight forward when second behind Danger Alley last time and she will need to improve for the fitting of first time cheek pieces to score. Of the remainder Distant Flash showed ability on his debut and is dropping in grade and is sure to improve so is worth noting in the market but Soffooh sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
