    Verdict

    Billy Ranger did better last time but still has plenty to find to trouble the two form principals. Niblawi travelled well on Turf debut at Chepstow until outpointed in the final furlong by Alcatraz but is hard to accurately assess as this is his first venture onto good ground. He's promising though and could well be good enough but SPRYT rates a safer option as he's far more battle-hardened and has already gone close more than once in maiden and handicap company. Admittedly, he did disappoint last time but previous exploits in decent handicaps at York, Haydock and Beverley make him the one to beat.
