Verdict

Miss Wizadora gets the vote here, with the best of the rest probably coming from Pounsley Mill, Grandee Line, Sissinghurst Storm and Bounce Again. Unusually for a runner from her stable, Miss Wizadora won well here whilst wearing shoes, although the question is will she appreciate an additional two-furlong trip today? We will take the view - given the opposition - that it is a chance worth taking, although it will be interesting to see if she runs with or without those shoes. Pounsley Mill has a bit to find with her based on that run, though, while Grandee Line attracted money here last time but ran disappointingly, so has something to prove now. Do not be surprised if Sissinghurst Storm runs well back in trip today from most recent runs, while, conversely, Kroisos might be better at a longer trip. Bounce Again might be open to some improvement and, having tried two miles and three-and-a-quarter miles of late, this in-between trip might help, but it would need to. Overall, Kappelhoff is opposable, as is Maunby Roller, for whom first-time cheekpieces would have to bring about improvement. Finally, with Reliance Leader being impossible to fancy, we return to the selection, which is Miss Wizadora.
