In depth

Verdict

ISPOLINI (NAP) won this in 2019 after landing a handicap a month earlier. He ran in the same handicap three weeks ago but never got into it after being held up off a slow gallop. William Buick will ensure a strong pace here and he can reverse form with Volcanic Sky and Global Heat, who finished in front of him. Away He Goes has never raced over a trip this far but was staying on very strongly over 1m4f a fortnight ago, when Brilliant Light weakened in the closing stages, so is greatly respected.
