Verdict
Buz Kiri struck form six days ago and is selected to to follow up, with Galley Law and Fraamtastic holding place claims in the finale. Buz Kiri finally came good at the 30th time of asking when getting the better of a battle with Galley Law at Wolverhampton six days ago, the pair finishing 12 lengths clear. It was only a moderate contest but so is this, and the pair should pay to concentrate on again. The slightly shorter trip may help Galley Law but he is only marginally better off at the weights and is no good thing to turn the tables. Fraamtastic gained his only success in selling company over six furlongs on this track two years ago but has had plenty of outings over hurdles since then and stayed on over seven furlongs here last week. The step up in trip will suit, and he makes some appeal for place purposes. Balalaika Tune and Samar Qand have bits and pieces of form but are none too consistent, and in a race in which bets are best kept to the minimum, Buz Kiri is the pick.
