Verdict

POTENZA won a better race than this at Newmarket last week by nearly four lengths and Stef Keniry’s charge should make another bold bid on that evidence. Fitzy won at Wetherby before placed off today’s higher mark at Hamilton last time while Canasta, Mac Ailey and City Master have more scope than most and attempt a mile for the first time. Padura Brave is back on the same mark as when landing a double at Kempton last autumn and Purgatory finished closer at Yarmouth a fortnight ago so can't be ignored.
