Irish raider Radharc Na Mara won a maiden chase at Sedgefield on her debut under Rules but that was over 3m2f and she disappointed over today's trip at Navan last time.

Zhukov's well beaten second at Fontwell back in November is the best recent form he can boast of, while Cengiz has a decent effort at Cartmel to his name but hasn't raced since 2009.
