Verdict
ZORAWAR has improved for the step up to a mile and completed a double at Wolverhampton with last week’s success. He may show further progress over this longer trip having won with plenty in hand last time and is preferred to the other recent winners. Caledonia Duchess finally opened her account after 25 attempts when scoring at Wolverhampton while Mullarkey ended a long losing run with a victory at Kempton but remains on a winning mark. Hard Toffee won here in December while Squire was placed over track and trip recently and Natch is not out of this either.
