Verdict
Izzykeen gets the confident nomination here with Gold Again and Charlotte Lamb put forward as the main dangers. The selection has shown a good deal of promise on both of his starts to date and as he is still open to plenty of improvement he should take a good deal of beating. Gold Again was a good second behind Cornish Sett at Ludlow last time and he hails from the in-form Noel Chance yard, but he will not necessarily be suited by the slight step up in trip and he is passed over on this occasion. Charlotte Lamb showed some promise on her racecourse debut when she finished in mid-division at Doncaster behind Golden Odyysey. The step up in trip should suit and she could be interesting if the market speaks in her favour. Elusive Sky hails from a shrewd yard and is another worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to Izzykeen.
