GHANAATIi ran well enough on his debut to suggest he has the ability to win a race of this nature with both Eddies Boy and Survivor's Song worth noting. The selection caught the eye when finishing third of fourteen at Kempton on his debut. He is entitled to come on for that experience and if doing so he will prove difficult to beat. Eddies Boy improved from his racecourse debut at Newbury to finish a brave third of fourteen at Beverly and he once again warrants respect if he can recapture that form. Survivor¿s Song has run three solid races to date and can once again be in the shake up but he may fair better in handicaps from now on, so for the winner we return to Ghanaati.
