In depth
Verdict
VARSOVIAN has won three times over 6f on the Polytrack since September and is worth another try over this longer trip. He gets a speculative vote in a wide-open contest. Franco's Secret and Mukaynis both won maiden races last month while Perfect Pursuit scored at Brighton back in July and is having his first start since. Rouge Nuage, Gigawatt and Freddy With A Y all went close on their latest starts and Malaysian Boleh is not out of this either back over 7f.
