In depth
Verdict
Zuffolo beat Leodis Dream a neck over track and trip last month though the latter has been well beaten since. Whisky Mcgonagall won a maiden race at Musselburgh in May but hasn’t raced since and another chance goes to PEPSI CAT, who has gone close in three subsequent starts since winning at Bath earlier. The Caltonian has been in good form over 7f but faces a more difficult task in this.
