Verdict

ZYMYRAN is upped 5lb for winning at Yarmouth but the runner-up has subsequently won so the form looks solid. David Simcock’s colt is preferred to Springwood, who won a lower grade handicap over 7f here last time and has been raised 7lb. Mister Blue Sky ran well at Goodwood last week but has something to prove over this longer distance and Davy's Dilemma is preferred as he wasn’t beaten far in a tougher race at Ascot last time. Book Of Poetry was second at Newmarket recently but was still beaten seven lengths.
