    Verdict

    Zaarmit can follow up his recent success at the track, while South Wales and Ba Dreamflight look potential dangers. David Simcock-trained Zaarmit has already proved himself over this tricky track and on firm ground, and is up just 2lb for his narrow margin win here recently. The step up to 10f may help him to find improvement, as his dam won over the trip at three, and if he can then he looks the one to be on. South Wales has been knocking on the door of late over 10f and is no back number here, given that the gelding acts on fast ground. Ba Dreamflight has been tried at trips around this a few times now and has not yet looked red hot, but this is not a great race and if handling the ground he might make the frame. Looter is very interesting now dropped back to this trip and blinkered for the first time, so if he handles the rattling fast ground then he'd have a chance. Betonart is the more likely of the other pair in first time headgear, but Zaarmit has plenty in his favour here and can follow up his recent course success.
