In depth
Verdict
A low grade lottery with Sir Taweel raised 6lb for winning on fast ground at Windsor while There's No Danger won over 6f in soft going at Redcar last year. But EMJAYTWENTYTHREE has placed form in testing going and he gets a speculative vote having run well for a long way over a mile at Windsor recently. Headora has gone close at Wolverhampton while Zumaaty and Propagation have also gone close in handicaps in the past.
