In depth
Verdict
ONE LAST HUG landed a gamble over 6f here earlier in the month to end a long losing run. He’s yet to win over this minimum trip but this a weak race and he can confirm running with both Stay Smart and Nodsasgoodasawink. The remainder of the field including stablemate Bonito Cavalo and the Irish filly Sosallycanwait have yet to win a race between them with the former perhaps best of them.
