Zagato was tailed off making his Turf debut at Newbury but is surely better than that. Siam Fox produced a career-best at Nottingham but has been raised 9lb for that success, though should again beat Invincibly. Jebel Dukhan is having a first run on Turf and may need a bit further so we’ll give another chance to HEADINGLEY. Nothing went right for Mark Johnston’s colt at Haydock last time and he’d looked progressive earlier. Ford Madox Brown is another who didn’t handle heavy ground latest and he shouldn’t be written off either.
