Verdict

End Zone is penalised for ending a long losing run at Hamilton on Wednesday but shouldn’t be far away again. Viva Voce pops up every now and then and Bulls Aye is being kept busy but is struggling to get his head back in front. RORY steps up another furlong but ran his best race for a while at Ayr 11 days ago so may be worth risking. Without Delay, a previous course and distance winner, is preferred to Chinese Spirit of the others.
