Zafaraan, well beaten on his only Polytrack start when trained by Peter Chapple-Hyam, looks a little high in the weights and the front-running Translator doesn't find much when headed. Kalacan has been racing over a mile and, though running well enough, is yet to win a race on the all-weather and has had 15 starts. HEIR TO THE MINT went up 9lb for scoring over a mile here in January and that proved just too much for him to handle on his subsequent start. The handicapper has relented and he's 3lb lower here which should just give him the edge. Naked Cowboy ran well over a mile here in February then found 1m3f too far a week later.
