In depth
Verdict
Plenty of these come here with solid claims and not too many can confidently be ruled out. However, Abajany has a good chance at the weights and he is selected over Nods Nephew, Lucky Archer and Paradise Valley, who gets in here off a featherweight and has to be feared as a live danger if he is on song. However, as that cannot be guaranteed, it may be best to stick with Abajany, who races for only the second time in selling grade today. The nine-year-old has winning form on a variety of going and is more that capable of seeing out this testing 10 furlongs. Dean Corby takes a handy 3lb off his back and the all looks set for a confidence-boosting run from the old boy today. Lady Percy arrives here in fair form and could also figure for a place from the foot of the handicap.
