In depth
Verdict
Sub Prime gets the vote to land this on his fourth start despite being beaten last time behind what appears a decent filly in Fangfoss Girls. His debut outing is arguably his best when just touched off at Kempton. David Evans has a line to the favourite through his above mentioned filly who beat the selection last time. Crewezando was set a stiff task last time when competing in a hot Chester maiden where the third has since scored. Syrup on a line through Fangfoss Girls has the beating of Sub Prime but appears moderate on what we have seen since. Any support for the newcomers would be significant but Sub Prime gets the vote.
