In depth
Verdict
A number of these can be given chances on the pick of their form but the booking of Kieren Fallon could be just what is required for Lualua and the three-year-old is fancied to have too much in the locker for Primo way and Presto Shinko when they bear down on the line. Jimmy Ryan is another for the shortlist as he shaped with plenty of promise as a juvenile. However, he meets Primo Way on unfavourable terms and will do very well to carry top weight to victory today. Get To The Point also has form that ties in with the last named and it will be interesting to note if money arrives to back up his claims. Even so, Lualua dropped a significant hint that his turn was not too far away when he chased home Benbuan at Thirsk last month and, with Fallon booked and this trip sure to suit, the son of Presidium has too much in his favour to ignore in this company.
