        Verdict

        Easterly Breeze arguably sets the standard on form and whilst he is starting to be frustrating to follow, we will side with him again now stepped up in trip; newcomers Hareem and Vivacita could prove to be the biggest dangers. In the selection's runs to date he has shaped as if the step up to a mile and a half would suit and having run some of his better races on quick ground, a big run looks imminent. He may not be entirely straight-forward, but he is fancied to break his duck. Meon Mix and Theta both represent powerful stables but neither has shone in their runs so far, whilst Wroughton should come on for his debut at Salisbury but will certainly need to. Hareem looks the likeliest newcomer on breeding, and representing a stable who can ready a newcomer, the market should prove informative. A weak race, and the vote goes to Easterly Breeze.
