In depth
Verdict
Almnadia was a good second on his debut at Market Rasen behind the impressive Sir Albert and he need only reproduce that form to take this contest. Limbo Lad is from a bang in form yard and if this flat winner's stamina lasts out he will be a danger to all, with the booking of McCoy an obvious plus. Girl Of Pleasure has shown a modicum of ability over a variety of trips on the flat and appears to have no trip.
