In depth

Verdict

In a weak finale with little significant form to go on, Lawrence Of Arabia is just preferred to Munaawesh and Sunday City. Sir Mark Prescott's gelding is no world beater, but shaped as if this trip would suit when sixth in a better race over 12 furlongs at York last time and will not find many easier opportunities than this. Sunday City steps up in trip for his handicap debut and should also be suited by tonight's distance, but David Loder's colt has failed to progress on an encouraging debut at Thirsk. Munaawesh is comparatively exposed, but his recent second at Redcar reads well in the context of this race and David Chapman's colt has fair place claims, but the vote goes to Lawrence Of Arabia.
