The Snail is taken to land this prize at the principal expense of Win A Rose and Nayodabayo. Evan Williams' runners always have to be respected and the five-year-old showed improved form to land a race over 2m5f last month. He seems capable of staying the trip and finding more for it. Win A Rose beat Cee Cee Rider when the pair met here earlier in the month. She is fairly exposed though and has gone up the weights for that success. Nayodabayo was not disgraced at Stratford behind Rightful Ruler. He is potentially well treated versus his chasing rating. Final Veto is one to note in the market in case of any support. Earnest was a fair novice but has not progressed. Ballyjohnboy Lord has it to do on recent evidence. A good race and The Snail looks to have been found a solid opportunity to follow up
