Verdict

Zero Money will be on most people's short-list after making all over 5f at Haydock last week. This intermediate distance is likely to suit but an 8lb rise in the weights is a worry in such a competitive sprint. Dandy Nicholls is normally mob-handed in these handicaps but only Stewards Cup second Tax Free has made the cut this time and he's disappointed since. Kevin Ryan, on the other hand, fields four with the reliable York Glory arguably the pick ahead of York second Racy. Tim Easterby's pair, Confessional and Favourite Girl, may be too high in the weights, however, and Ancient Cross is still 5lb higher than when successful at Newcastle in June. Ascot winner Dungannon normally travels well and should be in the firing-line again, while Joe Packet is back to his best but this can go to SWISS DREAM. David Ellsworth's filly has a touch of class, as she showed when making all in a Listed race at Newmarket last month, and hasn't run a bad race all season. Olivier Peslier looks a significant jockey booking today.
