Verdict
Useful hurdler Zubayr is lightly-raced on the Flat. He’s won and finished second on Polytrack under Megan Nicholls so has every chance here. Tapis Libre has already won valuable ladies’ races at York and Epsom this summer under Joanna Mason but is probably better on a faster surface. Dance King won the Cumberland Plate at Carlisle in June and is only 3lb higher while Serena Brotherton partners Alan King’s William Hunter, who won twice around this time last year and looked to be on the way back at Leicester. JACBEQUICK beat Azari over a similar trip at York last month and showed he was still in good form last time at Ripon. Though he’s creeping up the weights, another big run is anticipated.
