        Verdict

        Dual novice winner SPIRIT OF NGURU has been gelded since last in action but improvement is expected this season and he’ll handle the underfoot conditions. Zero Carbon is another handicapping for the first time and debuts on Turf while Wilderness Girl can do better after struggling on fast ground at Ascot. Doux Esprit drops back down in distance with a chance and is preferred to the more exposed Fourth Time Lucky.
