      Verdict

      Ruacana is a light of former days but the remaining quartet all have a chance of sorts, though Master Dancer may still be a few pounds too high. YOUNG WOLF tries a new trip but is a half-brother to smart staying chaser Lake View Lad so stamina shouldn’t be an issue and he’s just preferred to the consistent and versatile Hepijeu and Manning Estate, who is still unexposed and related to a host of winners, including several stayers, so is another who should enjoy the step up in distance.
