Verdict

Groundnut won over track and trip last month, his first start since being gelded. But only 5lb officially separates him and three other previous winners in this and they look closely matched on today’s terms. Move To The Front won a Salisbury nursery last month and Sing Out Loud was third at Kempton after winning on the Turf course at Lingfield but course winner Pranceabootthetoon has yet to race on ground this soft. WILSON (NAP) stepped up on a modest debut when storming clear of market leader Myboyhenry here last month and can improve again to land this.
