In depth

Verdict

About half the field can be given chances here with our vote going to Kanz Wood over Iamback, Kenny The Truth and Mantles Pride. Looking at what could be the principals. Iamback has been running reasonably well on the all-weather of late. Kanz Wood hasn't met with as much all-weather success lately but, overall, his form is better than Iamback, who looks set to go well, and he has winning form on soft. Kenny The Truth is another to have been consistent over the winter on the all-weather but his overall form is little better than plating class, while Mantles Pride's best form also brings him into the picture. Over To You Bert won an all-weather seller at Lingfield the time before last but needs to improve again to score, while Unsuited is slowly improving but her best efforts have been at Wolverhampton and the bare form does not amount to much. For us, then, the one that has the most ticks in the relevant boxes is Kanz Wood, and he gets the vote.
