Verdict

Kentucky Express, Zwadi and Harrison's Flyer are the three we like here and the nomination is given to the last mentioned. The selection was well beaten in an apprentice handicap last time but Tony Hamilton is back in the plate here and as his yard is flying at present he looks to have a decent chance of getting his head in front. Kentucky Express rates the main danger as this colt was a beaten favourite last time when third behind Doitnow. He had previously run really well at Haydock so he can't be ruled out here but he will need to improve to beat our selection. Zwadi has had plenty of chances and is beginning to look exposed, so the likelihood is that he will find at least one too good. This is a wide open contest but we will take a chance on Harrison's Flyer who is given the vote.
