      Verdict

      ZAFRANAGAR hasn't reproduced his second at Doncaster in March so far but is back on a winning mark and this is a weak contest. Pandorica, third over track and trip last time, should prove the pick of her stable's two runners and makes more appeal than the inconsistent Hill Fort but Acapulco Bay could be worth a second look if the market speaks in his favour as he's potentially well treated.
