Verdict

An excellent renewal which could take place on really testing ground if the weather forecast is correct. Course and distance winner, SAFE VOYAGE, scored in Listed grade the last day, continues to progress and has soft ground successes on his CV. He's unproven at Group level but has conditions in his favour and receives the nod. Mankib and Suedois finished second and fourth behind the selection last time but both are respected and should be prominent once again, especially the former who was having his first run of the campaign on that occasion. Mitchum Swagger should be involved given forecast ground and both Breton Rock and Sir Dancelot have claims at their best although both would be happier on better ground.
