Beleaguerment is 2-27 here which doesn't inspire much confidence though he ran well behind the in-form Adams Barbour last week. TAI SING YEH is a consistent performer which is why the assessor has been unable to drop him but a different rider is booked today and he may find the key to him. Five Zeros as a 100/1 chance when runner-up on his handicap debut last month and normal progress should see her in contention but Chica Power is up 7lb for last week's victory and that may be enough to anchor her. Blankiedoodie is well capable of winning at this level as is Above Us Only Sky but the latter has had just one run since November 2020.
