Verdict

It is hard to know what to make of Sprogzilla's latest effort at Towcester. The odds-on favourite was a huge blowout and the winner, having been left in front too soon, made heavy weather of confirming her superiority. Sprogzilla gets in here on 16lb better terms than she will in future handicaps but the overriding impression is that she is flattered by that performance. Ujagar landed a gamble here last time and has switched stables since. He arrives in better form than the majority of these but LONDONIA makes more appeal as a betting medium. She has gone well following a winter layoff previously. The form of her Ffos Las victory in June has been made to look a lot better since. The trainer's horses have been going well lately and the forecast odds offer some value in a poor race. Cry Fury has claims on old form and is worth a check in the market on his second run for his new yard.
  1. Londonia
  2. Ujagar
  3. Cry Fury
