Verdict
Oldjoesaid, Fathom Five and Ebn Reem look the three to concentrate on in this cracking sprint and the vote is given to Oldjoesaid. The selection was a good second on his first run of the season behind Lippoco. That form has since been franked and with improvement likely he will be hard to beat. Fathom Five rates the main danger as he beat Bookiesindex Boy in good style last time out but this looks tougher and he will need to improve again to win off this higher mark. Ebn Reem looked good on his first start of the season and has since regressed, but it would be no surprise if he were to bounce back to form if the rain arrives. Dress To Impress and Valley of The Moon are both reliable but look weighted up to their best and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Oldjoesaid to defy top-weight.
