Verdict

Reel Credit Crunch looks to have terms in his favour for this seller and blinkers may well help that one find his best but we'll make a play for top-rated WIGAN LANE with Wanchai Whisper also considered. The pick should be better than he¿s shown in a couple of handicap starts and the form from the maiden he won at Doncaster three starts ago backs up that theory. He will have a lot to do off of top-weight but if finding his best form he should prove too good for these on his Polytrack debut. It's possible very quick ground found out Reel Credit Crunch last time and a return to the company which saw him second of seven in May might see him in a better light. Wanchai Whisper found seven furlongs too much of a stamina stretch last time and as long as he has the speed required for this distance he could be well treated based on his debut effort. Mrs Jones And Me has enough on her side to suggest a challenge for the prizes but to win this we like Wigan Lane.
