Zolfo battled well to score here in late May and may have followed up at Ffos Las but for coming to grief late on. He's off an unchanged mark here so has a strong claim, especially as he's not ground dependent should forecast rain alter conditions. Old Salt, way below par last time, may have needed it and is one of the more likely ones if returning to his best. Good ground would suit. Againn Dul Aghaidh must be watched in the market off bottomweight with Brennan an eye-catching booking but a chance is taken with BORDER BREAKER who shaped well at Hexham before disappointing at Worcester but that run probably came too soon over a distance above his optimum trip.
