Verdict

Resplendent Alpha gets the confident vote in the opener with El Bosque and Ede's Dot Com rating the main dangers. The selection won well on his debut, isd sure to have learnt from the eperiance and given nominal improvement under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. El Bosque rates the main danger on his best form but he dissapointed last time out for no apparent reason so can not be put forward with any confidence. Ede's Dot Com is another that could go well on hios latest third behind Sweet Candy but the suspicion is he will improve again over a longer trip. Of the remainder Susanna's Prospect is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but her overall profile leaves her with a little to find and for the winner we return to Resplendent Alpha.
