In depth
Verdict
BEST TAMAYUZ has been thriving over course and distance since returning from a lay-off. He bids for a sixth win at the track today having only gone up 2lb since scoring in a higher grade 10 days ago and should take all the beating again. Unnoticed will struggle to reverse that form while Win Lose Draw’s recent good form has come at Chelmsford and he’s not really sparkled on the surface so far. Sea Tea Dea has won on Polytrack and hasn’t been running badly on Tapeta this year but this will be her first taste of the Fibresand. Eponina carries top weight following a lay-off but it would be no surprise to see her make the frame.
