In depth

Verdict

Nazimabad, Amadeus and Barren Lands are three against the field in a tight handicap chase and the tentative vote is given to Nazimabad. The selection won in game fashion last time out when beating Misty Dancer. Granted he has a penalty for that win but he looks a progressive type and with the step back up in trip likely to bring about more improvement he is taken to score. Amadeus rates the main danger on his latest third behind Fantasmic but he has had plenty of chances off a similar marks of late without taking one and again he looks vulnerable. Barren Lands is another worthy of respect as he is thrown in on his best form of last season but he has not looked the same horse of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Hiers de Brouage is another with place claims on his best form but he has been let down by his jumping of late and with this in mind for the winner we return to Nazimabad who is sure to give you a run for your money.
