Sir Michael Stoute looks to hold the key here with the progressive HASTY SAILOR. This son of Fastnet Rock looked firmly on the upgrade when last seen winning at Wolverhampton and given he is proven fresh an 8lb higher mark shouldn’t be enough to anchor him. The way he put it to bed the last day was impressive for the grade and given he is likely to have progressed again from 4 to 5 he looks good value at 9/2 to make a winning return. He has only actually had 7 starts winning 3 of them so remains very much unexposed. Diamond Bay is obviously in terrific form having won 4 of his last 5 but that has come at a lower level than this and a further 7lb rise is definitely going to test his credentials. Boss Power is interesting as he can go well fresh but I’m not sure how much if anything he has in hand. Farhan could be the one at a bigger price to threaten if taking to the surface.
