In depth
Verdict
Hardly a mouth-watering finale to finish with, but nevertheless a good opportunity for Pawn In Life to go in again, with Almowj and Comeintothespace looking best of the rest. The selection was well-supported before winning last time out over seven furlongs here ten days ago, and the step up in trip is certainly no problem. Off just a pound higher today he looks sure to run another big race and gets our nomination. Almowj represents a stable in good form at present and is fancied to run well again today. He wasn't beaten too far seven days ago at Kempton and looks one of the ones most likely to give his true running. Comeintothespace is held by Almowj on a form line through Weet Yer Turn, however he is at least one who has won over the distance so should be involved in the finish. Gem Bien is a course and distance winner so could go well at a decent price, however we will stick with recent winner Pawn In Life to go in again.
