In depth
Verdict
Azrag gave the impression a longer trip would suit when scoring over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last Monday but he has more to do here under his penalty and GUCCI D'ORO is preferred. The latter just failed to catch the winner over C&D last time and William Buick stays loyal in the hope of going one better. Al Qatari is lightly-raced and this much longer distance may suit while Mollyow has place claims off her current mark and Lakota Ghost could figure back on the Flat.
