Verdict

Long Call has been going well over hurdles while De Vegas Kid placed twice here at the start of the season, though others look better treated and he’s probably due a rest. Zulu Girl has won twice this year, including once here, though might struggle to confirm that latter form with Dawn View who enjoys a big turnaround in the weights. Mercurius Power and Kayfast Warrior are closely matched on Chepstow running but ZWELELA probably need only reproduce last week’s second at Goodwood to grab a first win on Turf. Urban War and Chief Of Staff are also likely to be thereabouts.
