In depth
Verdict
A desperate affair here but something has to win and the principals look to be Fight The Feeling, Zuleta and Warlaby Dale and the vote is given to the last named. The selection ran a fair race last time out when third in a similar race and he need only run up to that form to score. Fight The Feeling rates the main danger on his best form as he is very well handicapped here but he has shown very little of late so can not be backed with any confidence. Zuleta would have a chance on his best turf form but he has shown next to nothing on the AW so he is another to have reservations about. Of the remainder Airgusta would have a chance on his second behind Dark Parade a couple of runs ago but has since disappointed and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Warlaby Dale who at least ran well last time out
