Verdict

Verdict

It could get close between KUDIKARAN and SHERLOCK HOLMES but there are also first-timers in the hunt. The former, who showed promise on debut when meeting a high-class individual or two, is a gelded son of The United States. He will go ground in time but must nevertheless be in with a chance. SHERLOCK HOLMES was outpaced by a fair sort very late last time. He could show the strength of that form but needs to behave at the start. Malmoos gelding LIFE IN COLOUR and Erik The Red colt CAPTAIN COOPER have speed in their genes and could attract support.

Top Tip: Kudikaran (7)
Watch out for: Northumberland (11)
