Verdict
WANDSWORTH ran well for a place at Bath on his reappearance and scored twice on the Polytrack last year. He gets the nod ahead of a similar type in Stormbound, who won at Bath on only his second start of the year and has scope for further progress. Voyageofdiscovery made the frame over track and trip off today's mark last time while a case can also be made for Whipper Snapper and Nassau Storm.
