Verdict

This looks a hot maiden with Zoltan Star particularly interesting back over 5f after failing to get competitive in the Woodcote at Epsom earlier this month, though he was behind Russellinthebushes here earlier. Tom Dascombe’s filly has now finished second in three of her four starts and should be thereabouts again while stable companion Costa Adeje has the plum draw but missed the break on his second start at Leicester. Mytilda has been a beaten favourite the last twice so we’ll take a chance on GUEST LIST as she showed plenty of speed over 6f on debut at Pontefract and will have learned from the experience. Yarmouth fourth Cotai Hero is another likely improver.
