Verdict
Ready has been thereabouts on the all-weather surface here recently while Ashazuri was narrowly beaten at Brighton earlier in the month. Both have a shout in this but Windsorlot usually saves his best for Wolverhampton. Betsalottie is another not badly treated on his all-weather efforts but EPSOM SECRET won over today’s trip at Windsor last summer and returned to action with a decent fourth on the Polytrack here when in front of Turnbury. She gets the nod off her current mark.
