Verdict

There was a lot to like about the manner SOUMEI went about the task when winning at Brighton last month. That effort just about sets the standard here and the Ed Walker-trained gelding looks the safest option at this stage. Dragon Moon has shown a liking for this course and looks the best alternative, while Brexit Time won't need to be anything out of the ordinary to hold the rest at bay and go on to make the frame.
