        Verdict

        Many of these are tightly matched on official ratings, and Tokewanna might provide the answer, but others to consider are Spy Gun, Adobe and Just Wiz. Zap Attack has regressed over the last 18 months so has something to prove now. Zhitomir is consistent at this level but, overall, maybe has something to prove over this trip. Spy Gun is also consistent and ought to go well. Just Wiz has won five times over course and distance and would have leading claims if back to his best but it is coming up two years since he won. Accendere is lightly raced and should have improvement in him, although he lacks experience of this surface. Adobe is another course and distance winner but maybe his stablemate, Tokewanna, who has improved of late and won of his last four races, will be the more favoured of the two. Molinia finished a head in front of him over course and distance last time but is four pounds worse off now. Innclassic takes a big step up in trip today and his form would need to improve with it, while Zuloago has quickly lost his way after showing promise. Once again, this particular road leads us back to Tokewanna, who gets the vote.
