Sovereigns High is our selection at Musselburgh, and the case rests on a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, even though our rating of 74 leaves him six pounds behind the top-rated Deputy Vice on 80. That gap is real, but a horse on the upgrade can close it, and the 7f trip on good ground should suit an improving type. Deputy Vice is the obvious danger, with Rock Steady Beat (79) and Brandenburg (78) both close enough to take advantage if our pick fails to progress again. This looks an open contest, so he is a tentative pick rather than a banker, and Sovereigns High gets the vote.
