Verdict
Vice Admiral is hard to ignore in his current mood and he can land the hat-trick at the expense of Alisdanza and Sun King. Mick Easterby's gelding has won his last two races in great style, showing plenty of versatility as regards ground and trip. The opposition today are on the whole disappointing and so Vice Admiral can continue his winning ways. Keth Reveley runs both Let It Be and Sun King, the latter could be the best alternative to the selection. The mount of Kerrin McEvoy, this nine-year old has put in two solid efforts over course and distance this season. He was well beaten by the selection last time but should get a lot closer at today's weights. Alisdanza has been a model of consistency and cannot easily be ruled out off his very low mark. Jumeirah Scarer looks the best of the rest, but Vice Admiral is expected to make it three wins on the bounce.
