Zakreet was beaten 12 lengths on his Pontefract debut 10 days ago and needs to step up considerably on that if he's to take a hand in the finish here. Blue Shoes has been placed four times in six starts but is now starting to look exposed and more interesting is stablemate Just Like Heaven, though it will be a surprise if he's good enough to beat ODDYSEY on these terms. Michael Dod's filly arguably saw too much daylight when failing to justify favouritism over 7f at Doncaster last time but even that effort should be good enough to land this. Sygnature disappointed last time but is still probably the pick of the remainder.
