Sovereign Debt is proven at this level and despite not being as well in as some at these weights, he should give another good account with the ground to suit him. However, preference is for BENBATL. The Godolphin runner is dropped in grade here and also back in trip, while he has a few pounds in hand on official ratings. He handles these conditions and if he can make it in to a test then few will be able to live with him in the closing stages. Morando continues to improve and along with Flaming Spear and Ballet Concerto and any of that trio could have a say in the outcome. Kaspersky can't be ruled out, while last year's runner-up Mitchum Swagger could be in the mix again.
