Verdict
Luzum, a winner on heavy going at Cork last year. has slowly dropped to a mark he should be capable of winning from soon and this is the lowest grade contest he's been involved in. The last time Cent Flying ran on soft ground he won at Brighton and though 5lb higher he's won again since at Ffos Las. Always Amazing hasn't won since a successful debut at Wolverhampton two years ago and though Ambitious Icarus has won three times around here it's taken 23 runs to do it. TADAANY (NAP) doesn't have the greatest strike-rate but he's won on soft ground and showed his turn was near when just failing to concede Viking Way 6lb over the course and distance last week so looks the one to beat.
