Verdict
This is a moderate contest that gets proceedings underway but Nayodabayo has solid looking claims dropping back to a more suitable trip and to this grade and Nigel Twiston-Davies' gelding gets the vote to resume winning ways, with the main dangers rated as Comeintothespace and River Tigris. The last mentioned has disappointed in his last two starts but has every chance on earlier form, particularly in this lowly company. Just one win from 55 starts tells its own story for Trackattack, while Arctic Emperor is less exposed than most of these after just five starts but does need to improve on all known form to trouble the judge. Comeintothespace never got going when last seen at Fontwell in June and may be worth another chance but it is hard to get away from Nayodabayo, who gets the vote.
