Verdict

Lobengula can score again at the expense of Emily's Place, Airman and Multicultural to name but a few. Lobengula lines up in decent enough form, having won two of his last four starts, the latest of which was over the course-and-distance a week ago. He was given a fine ride by Daniel Tudhope that day, and as he still appears well treated, a 6lb rise should not hinder his follow-up bid. Strictly at the weights, Emily's Place is a big threat, as she finished a place ahead of the selection here the time before last, and is better off at the weights as well, but she just cannot seem to get her head in front and is taken on again. Airman meanwhile was a close third over a slightly shorter trip here on the same day, and this maiden is worth a step back up in trip, while of the remainder, Multicultural is worth a mention at least, but will do well at the weights to gain another course-and-distance success. All in all, we prefer the claims of Lobengula who can make all.
