      Verdict

      RANAAN has gained both victories over 6f here and could find this on the short side but this is a poor handicap and Tadhg O'Shea can steer him home. The champion jockey could have been on board Leading Spirit, who has raced in better company for much of his career, but prefers the selection. Will To Win is another who prefers another furlong and Ironside has never won over a trip this short while Act Of Reason has never won anywhere in 18 starts.
