Nonrunner
There are some nice sorts on show here but we'll give the experienced West With The Wind one more chance. Solar Dance and Time Control are amongst the dangers. Amaakin is a fascinating runner as he has been the subject of plenty of hype in his short career. He missed his intended debut when playing up at the start and can only improve for his run at Newbury; the jury is still out. Interchange caught the eye at Warwick as did Mvuto at Windsor and both should be able to build on those performances in time but Kritzia has a little to prove following her defeat at Great Leighs. Time Control has been allotted a mark a pound higher than the selection's and this well bred filly will appreciate her first outing at this trip. She should go well as should Solar Dance who has shown a decent level of form. Tom Tate has made no secret of the regard in which he holds his colt and his charge's career to date has been rather disappointing in light of that. A return to maiden company on a galloping track may yet enable him to prove his worth on the track so West With The Wind gets the nod.
