In depth
Verdict
David Evans is using Noel Garbutt's claim to help Chepstow winner Nazik but he still looks vulnerable. Latest Quest showed good speed before finishing fifth at Newbury but it will be a surprise if at least one of the newcomers can't put up stiff opposition. Peachey Carnehan is out of a winning miler but this will be plenty sharp enough and Mick Channon's Fast Company filly ZAATAR has the speedier pedigree and is fancied to get off the mark at the first time of asking.
