      Verdict

      Kuanyao hasn't won for almost two years but four of his eleven career victories have come on this track and he may not be finished yet. REDALANI hasn't won in 19 starts, the vast majority at Wolverhampton, and this is his Polytrack debut. However, this is such a shocker of a race that he can finally get on the scoresheet. Midnight Destiny is another long-time maiden and she didn't run well on her only start on this track while Tax Reform has an even worse record with 27 defeats behind him including several here. Big City Boy at least has a victory to his credit and his lone success in 33 starts came on Polytrack at Chelmsford. He looks better than Tony Carroll's pair but the lightly-raced Loudly could snatch a place.
