Verdict
VITARE was only beaten half-a-length at Windsor on his only previous try over 6f and that is the best form on offer. Nearly A Gonna was taking on much better opposition on rain-softened ground last time at York and could bounce back so he’s preferred to Rockingham Jill, already on her third trainer, and the disappointing Seas Of Elzaam.
