Verdict
The ground was fast when CONO ZUR made a winning debut in a Newcastle maiden on his only start so far in August but the son of Anabaa should have no difficulty in handling the cut in the ground today and gets the vote to make a winning start in nursery company with the main dangers rated as Transfixed and Count Bertoni. The Steve Gollings-trained colt ran well in a maiden at York two starts ago and has run well on the only occasion that he has raced on a softer surface so he has to be strongly considered. Michael Bell's Professor John was well beaten on his only start when encountering cut in the ground, while Kumbeshwar looks reasonably well treated and would have every chance if handling the conditions that he faces for the first time. Being by Captain Rio, Michael Chapman's Baby Judge should handle the ground but has disappointed on it before and of more interest may be Transfixed. The David Evans-trained filly has shown a decent level of form, including on a soft surface and she rates the main danger to Mark Johnston's Cono Zur.
