In depth
Verdict
The Cola Kid is penalised for winning over 7f here last week with Agapanther behind while Rhubarb has been in good form over the minimum trip on heavy going at Nottingham. Wadi Bani posted a better effort at Chelmsford but BAMA LAMA was winning off a higher mark at Windsor in August and gets another chance in this having been beaten less than a length over track and trip a week ago.
