      Verdict

      Central City went close over a shorter trip at Yarmouth recently while Reeceltic won over 2m on Polytrack back in March but something went amiss at Kempton last time. ZUCKERBERG has been mostly racing over fences but had an outing over today’s distance at Redcar last month and finished a creditable third. The runner-up has boosted the form subsequently and Jennie Candlish’s charge gets the vote with the remainder hard to recommend.
