In depth
Verdict
Nan Jan can take this modest handicap, Oh Danny Boy and Corky can also get involved in the finish. The selection failed in her hat-trick bid last time when going down by two lengths to Middle Eastern. However that appeared to be a stronger race than this and she can return to winning ways this afternoon. Oh Danny Boy has to be forgiven his latest effort at Lingfield, but has strong claims on his victory here the time before when beating the 69 rated Lord Of Dreams. Meanwhile Corky cannot be easily discounted on the pick of his recent form. Another to consider for each-way purposes is Deeper In Debt, but our idea of winner is Nan Jan.
