Verdict

Luca Cumani has a good strike rate at this track and BARKIS gets the nod to open his account. Related to useful stayers and former stablemates Bauer and Boz, he'll appreciate today's longer trip after a third over a mile at Windsor last time. Hurakan won an apprentice race at Sandown last week and can figure again off the same mark and 7f winner No Compromise will be thereabouts if lasting home on her first start over today's distance. Wiggy Smith won this in 2010 but hasn't scored since while The Cayterers has yet to hit form this season. Urban Space has claims if forgiven his latest below par effort at Windsor and The Lock Master could run into a place.
