Verdict
Billy Loughnane returns to action with just the one ride and renews acquaintances with ZEALOT (NAP). The latter was racing over this far for the first time when scoring here in January and there should be more to come over the trip. Obsidian Knight won at Lingfield last time but is upped in class along with Dream Harder, who scored at Wolverhampton earlier in the week having earlier finished behind Titian at the same track. Melek Alreeh faced a tougher task at Kempton on his handicap debut and can finish closer today.
