In depth
Verdict
Ndola has gone well after an absence before and, particularly if the market speaks in his favour, he looks worth backing in a race where the main dangers look to be Nantucket Sound and Mr Dip. The last mentioned also has a lay off to overcome which is of more concern than it is for the selection so he may be best watched. Got To Be Cash has dropped to a low level and showed signs of a revival of late so he has to be considered along with Russalka, who disappointed last time but has claims on earlier form. Red Lantern needs to improve on recent evidence, while Mister Completely is inconsistent but cannot be ruled out on the pick of his form. Nantucket Sound takes a big drop in class and has to be considered but Ndola holds solid claims if fit enough and gets the vote to make a winning return.
