With four wins in the race between them, none of the Aidan O'Brien (Chief Little Hawk and Hyde Park Barracks) or Wesley Ward (Sheriff Blanco and Sunshine City) runners can be dismissed after promising form from them all. Mighty Gurkha was the most visually impressive of these when winning by over seven lengths at Lingfield whilst Victory Heights was a taking winner on debut at Newcastle. Those aside, the selection is TACTICAL for Andrew Balding. He may well have won on debut at Newmarket but for being bumped and hampered and shouldn't be far away with a better passage here.
