Verdict
Rez was only beaten a short-head by a previous winner at Pontefract 12 days ago and should again beat third Shine's Ambition, who is a lot more exposed. But UNITED APPROACH (NAP) ran a race full of promise at Ascot at the start of month, running green than failing to see daylight once the penny dropped. He was just behind a subsequent winner and that was probably an above-average contest. Quintus Arrius is bred to be speedy and Kevin Ryan’s juveniles are always worth a second look here.
