In depth
Verdict
Tuscarora, Sharoura and Zwadi are the three for the shortlist in the finale and the vote is given to Tuscarora. The selection won with ease last time over this course and distance when defeating Roman Quintet, and her shrewd handler clearly thinks she is capable of quickly following-up that success. Sharoura had the race run to suit when beating Roman Empire at Southwell last time, but she was all out to win that day and she may have to settle for place money here. Zwadi is still a maiden after 14 attempts and although she clearly has ability, she is difficult to place a great deal of faith in and she is proving costly to follow. Artistry finished last on this track over 6f last time and will be suited by the return to this trip, but for the winner we return to Tuscarora.
