In depth
Verdict
Vita Spericolata was touched off on the line at Pontefract last time out and she will find this course much more to her liking and will be very hard to beat. Royal Millennium has been in good form of late but his best form is over seven furlongs. Indian Spark was eighth in a Group 3 last time out and he will find this easier but his best form is with cut in the ground. Border Subject is another to consider the draw and ground have been against on his last two runs and he should go well with conditions in his favour. Nedwood Blade will love the ground and travelled well for a long way last time out over this trip, he has winning form on this track and scored in good style at Doncaster last month. Smart Predator could be a lively outsider in a wide open affair.
