Verdict
ZAKREET bids for his hat-trick off a 6lb higher mark but, as both wins came in soft going at Newcastle and Ayr last time, Kevin Ryan's charge is taken to go in again. Amadeus Wolfe Tone steps up in trip for his attempt to land a treble and he also has a soft ground victory at Chepstow to his credit, while Daneking returns to a mile having won his maiden over 1m2f at Goodwood last month. Mr Spiggott makes his handicap debut after a 6f victory at Newcastle and is closely matched with third-placed Grizzle on that run.
