In depth
Verdict
The Gaikwar is a model of consistency and has to be considered here, but we will take a chance with stable companion Zafarshah, with Princelywallwyogan also expected to run well. The selection was successful off a mark of 60 here in May and has since struggled under a penalty. However as a result he has now slipped down to a very nice mark and can go close here at decent odds. The Gaikwar put in another sound display last time when runner up to Will The Till and can be expected to be there or thereabouts again. Meanwhile Princelywallywogan was most impressive when beating his own age group at Brighton last time. He may struggle today against his elders but could easily sneak into a place. The best of the others could be Danielle's Lad, but for the winner we have to side with Zafarshah.
