In depth

Verdict

ZIG ZAG is a decent dual-purpose performer at this level and has done well since arriving from Ireland and though he's never raced on this surface he's versatile enough to adapt and can carry his big weight to another victory. Highwayman has won over a mile here and scored over an extra furlong on soft ground at Hamilton last time though he's yet to prove himself at this trip. Sevilla won over the trip at Wolverhampton though it was only a seller while Calvanist, who was racing in Class 3 company last summer, is badly out of form. The lightly-raced Burn Some Dust is taking a big leap in trip having never raced beyond a mile.
