In depth
Verdict
Gonzaga is 0-47 but THE COLA KID has won five times, including once here. The top weight is a pretty reliable sort at this level and it would be no surprise if he got his head back in front in a weak finale. Destiny's Spirit would have a chance on her best form while Ceilidh wasn’t far behind a subsequent winner at Brighton last month, though remains winless. Private Bryan placed over a mile here in July but that has been the highlight of a modest career to date and Lady Gazelle has more scope.
