In depth

Verdict

Nodsasgoodasawink included a second over a slightly shorter trip here in recent placed efforts while Cobra Eye was narrowly beaten over track and trip before disappointing last time. But TAWAAFOQ (NAP) returned to action with a victory at Chepstow last month and looks worth sticking with in this lower grade sprint. Breath Of Spring won at Lingfield earlier and is unexposed on Turf while Spreadsheet scored at the same track at the end of last year but has yet to win on this surface.
