      Verdict

      Zalimar gets the confident vote to send punters home happy with Incroyable and Mary Gray rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Lodgician and although this looks much more competitive he looks well ahead of the handicapper and is taken to score under conditions that suit. Incroyable rates the main danger on his best form but he has been way below that of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Mary Gray is another that could go well as she looks to be on a fair mark and will relish the return to this shorter distance having failed to stay two miles last time out. Of the remainder Toni Alcala goes well in small fields and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to the progressive Zalimar.
