Verdict

With Sextant still having a little to prove in terms of temperament having been outfought in a match here last September, clear preference id for SETTING SAIL, who looked so good on his return from a long absence at Wolverhampton. Blue Laureate ran his best race when runner-up over C&D at last summer's Shergar Cup meeting, and he is respected on his return, assuming that he is ready to go.
