In depth

Verdict

IKKARI hasn’t raced since last summer but has the strongest form of these when second at Wolverhampton on his debut and this won’t take much winning. My Song For You has more recent form when fourth over a shorter trip at Newcastle but the others with experience make no appeal. One Night Thunder cost 300,000gns as a yearling and is preferred to Analytics of the newcomers.
