Verdict
Zeshov lost his way last season after winning a maiden at Sandown but Ryan Moore's presence suggests better is expected on his comeback. After The Sunset disappointed at Doncaster having won on the all-weather earlier but shouldn't be written off just yet while better is expected from Baltic Brave with his stable in such good form. But a tentative vote goes to CHARLES MONSON on his reappearance having finished a close third at Doncaster in October off today's mark. Liberty Jack goes well here but remains 7lb higher than when winning at Newmarket last summer.
