Verdict
Elzaam's Dream has only won over 6f so far and went close over the latter trip at Wolverhampton last week. But ROCKESBURY is a course and distance winner and, having placed at Wolverhampton the last twice now, looks set to get his head back in front. Zahirah has a bit to find with the selection on earlier form but Mont Kiara has placed over 7f on a couple of occasions without troubling the winner. Oneofararekind has more scope than most and goes handicapping for the first time.
