In depth

Verdict

Ustad, Constructor and Lord of Dreams are the three for the shortlist here and preference is for the experienced Ustad. Charlie Cyzer¿s Constructor has shown glimmers of ability at trips from six furlongs to a mile and a half and was a good third last time, just getting run out of it in the closing stages. Constructor will have few better chances of losing his maiden tag than this and can go close. Lord of Dreams¿ form figures don¿t look inspiring but he has been keeping better company than this. He ran well until the furlong pole at Pontefract two outings ago, beaten only three lengths in a decent handicap and is another who will be thereabouts. Ustad is a son of Giants Causeway and has been campaigned at the top tracks and over longer distances. He has shown enough ability to suggest he can take this, and his breeding suggests the trip will not be a problem. Ustad can lead them home.
