      Verdict

      Both Zalzilah and Steventon Star were well beaten in the Windsor Castle over track and trip in June and the former has something to find with STRAITS OF MALACCA on latest running at Thirsk. The latter finished third on that occasion and Kevin Ryan's colt is fancied to find the necessary improvement to land this. Flying Bear had Ifwecan back in fifth over 6f at Goodwood last month but Mark Johnston's charge is a course and distance winner and may well turn the tables today.
