In depth
Verdict
Zither is the only runner with previous experience and shaped most promisingly when third in similar company at Newmarket late last month. The extra furlong should prove ideal and Richard Hannon's charge sets a fair standard for the newcomers. Play That Tune has been the subject of glowing home reports and should be noted while both Sulzano and Time Ahead make plenty of appeal on breeding.
