Verdict

Sailing By gets the vote in the seller, with the others to make it onto the short list being Careenya and Attribution. Attribution showed some promise on his Carlisle debut and, quickly dropped to selling company, cannot be ruled out. O'Casey has already been beaten at this level. First-time blinkers brought about improvement from Sailing By at Windsor last time and he looks set to get involved today. Ralph Beckett's 16,000 euros daughter of Captain Rio, Careenya, is worth a look, while Little By Luck was not beaten too far in a Wolverhampton seller last time. Mama Leo also ran well last time in a Yarmouth seller and first-time blinkers could produce further improvement. All in all, quite a tricky seller, with the selection being Sailing By.
