Verdict

YOU NEVER CAN TELL (4) was first up off a short break here over 6f and proved too good, scoring by just under a length. He should be even better suited rising to 7f off that and with any luck from the wide gate he should take beating. KING MAYWIN (3) was in the market over this route last time in a BM62 but struggled after drawing wide and pushing forward. The maiden win prior was dominant and he can bounce back strongly. QUBELLA (9) won nicely here two back over 6f and is racing quite well for an 8yo mare. She'll take some holding out. ACHETER (10) switches to synthetic for the first time which could spark improvement. EXPRESS GUARD (12) doesn't win out of turn but was good here two back and that has him right in the mix.
