Verdict

This could be pretty desperate stuff in heavy ground and with doubts about the ability of Little Windmill to act in such testing conditions, the very tentative vote goes to MONEY FOR NOTHING. Clearly, confidence is very much tempered by the fact that he is still a maiden, but he sees out the trip, handles plenty of cut and has run well from a similar mark relatively recently. Last year's winner Wish In A Well did so after a poor run on his previous start. This time, he has several poor runs to overcome as well as being 2lb 'wrong' at the weights, so he is taken on. Touch Screen has the most recent winning form and is not ruled out, while success for either Oakidoki or Triptico would not be a huge surprise in a race where caution is advised.
  1. Money For Nothing
