In depth
Verdict
Never Said Nothing won a handicap over track and trip last time but is penalised for that success and the runner-up ACROSS THE NILE re-opposes on more favourable terms. The latter has less than a length to find and James Ferguson’s filly may can take her revenge. Distinction placed over 7f here recently, when ahead of Right Action, and can figure again with Elixsoft perhaps best of the rest.
