In depth
Verdict
Attorney has to give weight away all round here but should still be capable of landing first prize, Cargo and Knead The Dough look the obvious dangers. The selection landed a similar race to this over the six furlong trip at Southwell last time, beating Shifty Night by three-quarters of a length. His previous effort behind Winhill House over this trip has turned out to be decent form with the winner successful twice since, and so his claims are there for all to see. Knead The Dough finished just behind Attorney in that contest and is entitled to reverse the form on today's terms, however the selection was having his first run for four months and does appear to be improving. Cargo finished third in a stronger race than this last time, and this dual banded stakes winner looks set to play a major role. Lady Pekan is another to consider on her best form, but Attorney is going the right way and is a confident choice
