In depth
Verdict
Limaro Prospect might do better now handicapping and dropping back a furlong but others are preferred. Requiems Dream won twice on Turf last summer and will strip fitter for a recent outing at Wolverhampton. Zulu Zander finished ahead of Augustus Caesar at Wolverhampton last month but the latter, already a winner on Polytrack, can reverse those placings with that run under his belt. Wolverhampton maiden winner AGENT SHIFTWELL looks progressive and could make all again in this if Richard Kingscote bounces him out of the stalls.
