Verdict

Neil Mulholland fields two live candidates here in SUPER SABRE SAM and Sunshine Diamond. The latter is unexposed under Rules and is bound to be popular in his hat-trick bid but preference is for Super Sabre Sam, who was successful over C&D on his sole previous visit here and the trip (3m) was probably to blame for his below par display at Newbury last month. Marlacoo has barely put a foot wrong in his career to date and he has to be feared.

  1. SUPER SABRE SAM
  2. SUNSHINE DIAMOND (IRE)
  3. MARLACOO (IRE)
