Verdict

This is a very competitive opener with none ruled out. Second Collection has been on the go for a long time but won over 5f here 10 days ago. MICHAELS CHOICE is 4lb lower than when a close third over course and distance back in May. Though a beaten favourite last time at Brighton, he does appear to be running into form again. Saras Hope is probably best over 5f but Anjella is seeking a fourth win of the season over this trip and fellow three-year-olds Siyata and Hello Me are also interesting. Sarah's Verse keeps finding one too good, however, and seems to reserve her best for Bath.
