Wotashirtful sets the standard on ratings and should be able to break his maiden tag here. His rating has rightly dropped 5lb after his second behind Whiskey Junction and while he is no world beater, he should have the ability to break his maiden tag at the seventh time of asking. Walragnek was two places behind Wotashirtful on his last outing, where he got badly outpaced in the early stages. It is difficult to see him reversing that form with the selection. Gambling Jack showed some promise in a Leicester maiden twelve months ago while market support for In Toto should be noted. He was not disgraced with his finishing position on his debut after failing to handle the bends at Great Leighs. Archilini appeared as if he failed to stay 7 furlongs on his final outing last year and handicaps are where he will be competitive following this. A very poor maiden and Wotashirtful is given the nomination.
