Slightly slow — minor pace variance, nothing to read into.

In-running (Wyman (IRE))

Slow away, bustled along early - mid-division, in 7th - switched left and ridden 2f out, run up the centre - still with plenty to do over 1f out - strong run to lead inside final furlong - stayed on well clear at the line

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Numantia

Numantia caught the eye on debut at this course, finishing with running left over the same distance and going, and a second run should unlock more from a colt whose debut form looked promising. Wyman shaped with encouragement on his final qualifying run and is open to improvement stepping up in distance again. Changing Lanes sets the form standard and could go well on the drop in trip. Numantia is our selection.
