Verdict
Noble Cyrano would have won last time out at this track if he had not run wide entering the straight losing valuable ground. Well handicapped and a horse who goes well for an inexperienced pilot he is a confident choice to land this closing race on the card. Lazzaz is another who goes well for apprentices and he won well last time out at Wolverhampton however he does not look well handicapped here and has yet to prove he acts on this surface. Golden Fact is interesting on his second try in Britain and his first run for his new connections. He is an experienced Flat performer and looks on a decent mark at present but his lack of a run at this track may count against him and is best watched here. Beady, a winner of two races this season, has struggled off his new mark and with him being only a pound lower than when beaten last time out he is passed over here.
