In depth
Verdict
Ndola is the selection to land this with Granary Girl and Trackattack nominated to chase him home. A very consistent sort Ndola, he was last seen finishing second over course and distance last week, a repeat of which would see him go close. His female rider is capable and that is further encouragement. Granary Girl is stepping back up in trip so expect her to be dropped out early on. Should the extra two furlongs not prove a problem she can get in the shakeup. Trackattack certainly won't be inconvenienced up the trip and at a bigger price might give supporters some value. Others worthy of consideration include Ronsard and Krasivi's Boy while Simon Walker is an eye-catching booking for Wizard Looking who makes his return to the track after a 20 month absence. Market moves should be noted where Wizard Looking is concerned. A moderate contest with many of these very much out of form but Ndola is consistent and can land the opener.
