Zuzinia gained her first-ever victory on fast ground at Bath and didn't run badly when stepped up in grade and trip at Ripon. Perfect Pastime is 6lb higher than his victory here last month but Pour La Victoire is capable of a big run with George Downing's claim to aid his cause. Dark Profit changed stables and was found an easy opportunity at Chelmsford. This is tougher but at least he's on the scorecard and another good run is expected. His stable also run INDIAN TINKER and a chance is taken on him despite a very poor strike-rate as he's generally raced at a higher level and managed to reach a place. Jacob's Pillow landed a Hamilton claimer and has changed stables while Ladweb suffered badly in the ratings after his hat-trick in the spring of last year and is only just beginning to recover.
