Laredo Sound is impossible to oppose here with Taranis and Airman rating the main dangers. The selection has shown enough in two races to date notably when third behind Turbulence last time out to suggest he can win a race of this nature and with the drop in trip also looking to be in his favour he is hard to oppose. Taranis rates the main danger on his debut third behind Classic Dream but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 304 day break. Airman is another that could go well but he has had plenty pf cjamces and again he looks vulnerable. Prince Villevert ran with promise on the level in his native France and is worth a cautionary look in the market but Laredo Sound sets a fair standard and need only put in a clear round to score.
