In depth
Verdict
This looks a trappy affair, despite the small field. Edmo Yewkay dotted up on heavy ground at Ayr last time and is sure to have his supporters, whilst Vazon benefited from the step up to seven furlongs when winning at Folkestone last time and has to be respected. Marginal preference, though, goes to Red Wizard. He won convincingly at Yarmouth on his second start, and although a shade disappointing at Warwick last time he did not get the best of runs that day and is almost certainly capable of better.
