In depth

Verdict

St Ignatious seems better over a longer trip these days and was beaten only a length over 7f at this track last time. However, CHARLIETOO finished just ahead of him on that occasion and Edward Bevan's charge won over today's distance at Wolverhampton earlier last month. He gets the nod here. Kheley has lost the winning habit and has a bit to find with the selection on latest running, while Lujiana's four wins on this surface were all over the minimum trip.
