In depth
Verdict
Something of a guessing game regarding the temperament of a few of these, so with that in mind, only a small investment is advised with Danger Bird, who already holds Myannabanana on recent form, so may have the most to fear from Zariano, who won a seller in good style nine days ago and should make a bold bid again this afternoon. That said, Fiveoclock Express will be better suited to this trip and he can also play a leading role if he is allowed an easy time of things in the lead. The presence of Nuzzle does not suggest that he will be allowed that luxury though and he again may find a couple more resilient in a finish. One of which we expect to be Danger Bird, who is holding his form well at present and has not be presented with an insurmountable task at the weights against some very inconsistent rivals.
