In depth
Verdict
Runaiocht went up 9lb for winning a very minor handicap here in February and hasn't run since April. Zahirah has some solid form since transferring to the all-weather this autumn and has been given a chance by the assessor. Gulland Rock has won eight races including around here and has been dropped 3lb despite a third-place finish at Wolverhampton. BREATHOFFRESHAIR, who completed a Newcastle hat-trick around this time last year, looked ready to win again soon when staying on strongly over 6f there two weeks ago and can make a successful debut on this track.
