In depth
Verdict
THE NAIL GUNNER has raced over track and trip three times since March and won on all three occasions. He had the measure of Mumcat, Araifjan and El Hombre last time and can confirm superiority. Street Life and Porfin step back up in distance with the latter preferred while Gidwa is usually thereabouts at this level and Rain Cap is not out of this either.
