In depth
Verdict
Zonic Boom gets the call ahead of Tresor Secret and Barbirolli. If there is any money for Tresor Secret on his first run for 506 days then you have to take heed as his mark looks a fair one if anywhere near his best, while the step up in trip today makes Barbirolli potentially interesting but Wassfa maybe has something to prove at the trip. Zonic Boom is very interesting off what appears to be a slightly generous appraisal from the grader and he makes plenty of appeal. Finally, Keisha Kayleigh, who has been beaten in sellers, might prove best of the rest but, once again, we will side with Zonic Boom.
