Verdict
Zameka disappointed at Ascot last time though both he and Dayman have won novice races at Wolverhampton. Skittlebombz’ earlier success came over 6f at Southwell while Melodramatica went close over a longer trip at Lingfield. Botanist disappointed at the latter track on his reappearance and WAY TO WIN (NAP) wasn’t at his best at York last time but the latter gets another chance in this having placed in a higher grade contest over track and trip on his penultimate start.
