Verdict
Both Candelisa and four-times track winner Gabrial The Tiger have been running well and would have come into contention but for being drawn widest of all. Proud Archi has managed to win five races and been narrowly beaten the last twice though could have done without a 3lb rise. Logi had dropped to a low enough mark when runner-up at Ayr, his best race for some time, but the vote goes to ZEYZOUN (NAP). Chris Wall's charge was staying on strongly over 6f at Nottingham last time and was only beaten half-a-length. Zoravan was headed in the closing stages over a mile at Carlisle last month and didn't get the run of the race back there last week.
