In depth

Verdict

Tyfos, Atlantic Beach and Pavershooz look the three to focus on here and the vote is given to Tyfos. Mark Brisbourne's 3-year-old was only narrowly beaten last time at Folkestone behind We Have A Dream and a reproduction of that effort would see him tough to beat. Atlantic Beach looks his chief rival as he has been running consistently well and the race was not run to suit for him at Haydock last time. He could be worth another chance, while Pavershooz has been running well and any rain would boost the case for him. Leading Edge will be suited by the drop in trip and she could be the best of the others, but for the winner we will stick with Tyfos.
