ZARGUN has slid down the weights since joining Scott Dixon’s yard and a recent neck defeat at York suggests a return to winning ways is imminent. 2019 winner Count D'Orsay still looks high enough in the handicap though finished ahead of Sunday Sovereign when sixth in the Ayr Gold Cup last month while it’s been some time since Tarboosh last won a handicap but he drops down in class today. The latter’s stablemate Militia finished in front of Major Jumbo when third at Chester having won over track and trip before that.
