In depth

Verdict

Shosolosa has the form to win again at the expense of Prince Golan and Cape Cobra. The selection is four pounds higher for winning at this track over one furlong further. He has looked progressive all season and we feel there should be more to come from Richard Guests charge. Prince Golan will be another to note after catching the eye when second to Ben Chorley at Newbury last time out. He looks weighted to run another big race so is one to follow closely. As is Cape Cobra who has never hit the heights that he was set to achieve but is capable of entering the frame if running to his best form. But for the winner we return to Shosolosa.
