In depth
Verdict
Tanaji looks set to brake his tag in this contest Ben Handbury's charge has ran well in defeat against some well regarded sorts on his last couple of runs and he meets nothing of there caliber here and he will be hard to beat. Nirvana ran well last time when second behind Shalamantika last time out at Epsom but that horse has since been beaten in a handicap at Brigton. Bergerac Pie ran well when second in a maiden last time but will have to improve again to win. The remainder will have to improve on all known form to score.
