In depth
Verdict
Warden Complex hit form with a vengeance last time and can follow up at the expense of Go Padero and Molcon. James Fanshawe's gelding readily picked up the leader inside the final furlong in that Leicester event for a comfortable success. He looks the sort that will improve further with experience and can supplement that win. Molcon will be a major threat to all as he finished a close up third in a better contest at Newmarket last time and still appears very well treated. Go Padero is from the shrewd Mark Johnston stable so keep a close eye on this one in the betting market for his seasonal debut. Flipando is another that appears to be on a winning mark and should also figure in the finish, but Warden Complex could be the most progressive in the line up and is given the nod.
