Verdict
Bbob Alula beat both Reformed Character and Boy George when scoring at Lingfield but that was his first success since 2018. KRYSTAL MAZE is preferred having won an amateurs' race at Southwell on her reappearance as she remains unexposed on the all-weather. Central City drops back down in trip with a shout while City Wanderer placed over track and trip recently and makes more appeal than last year’s winner Street Poet.
