Verdict

There isn’t much pace in this Listed contest and it could turn into a muddling pace but it’s hoped that Wadilsafa will seize the chance to lead (has done in the past) and try and make all at a decent tempo. He has the ability to land a race of this nature but may not be totally straightforward and DARK VISION is taken to benefit if he does go on. Mark Johnston saddled the winner of this last year and has another cracking chance his son of Dream Ahead having not run a bad race all year. Beringer will be a danger based on his Cambridgeshire form his yard can never be underestimated with their Flat runners with Escobar back from a wind op adding more depth to the race.
  1. Dark Vision
