Verdict

CHARLIE SEBASTIAN (7) added to his recent string of strong performances last time out when runner-up over 1 5/16m at Kilmore, beaten 18 metres. Tactics will be crucial from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field and he can add to the solid recent record. MEGALODON (8) was in the money on debut two runs ago then found the frame again last time over 1 ?m at Melton, finishing 12 metres from the winner in third. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Meets a similar line up and he can figure in the finish. TOMBEUR (5) is a three-year-old gelding by Tall Dark Stranger from Gotta Go Hype on debut. Trial winner who looks above average. Will be ready to run a big race. SIR KITT (1) is ready to improve after debuting with a respectable sixth last time out over 1 ?m at Melton.
