Verdict

CULLODEN’s poor effort at Newcastle last time may have come too soon after winning over this course and distance. He gets another chance in this as he should confirm running with Ryan Style. Excellent Aim was placed in this grade earlier in the year but Give Us A Belle has recorded all six wins on the all-weather so far at Wolverhampton. K'gari Spirit has been placed in maiden company over today’s trip and goes handicapping for the first time but the remainder are harder to fancy.
