In depth
Verdict
Both Zaria and Dolphin Rock arrive in flying form with the latter preferred as he escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices' event at Chepstow last week. Hawkin went close at the same track recently but JERSEY BROWN finished third here last time having won over track and trip in June and Mick Channon's filly gets the nod on that form. My Son Max and Mister Mayday are usually thereabouts at this level could get involved.
