In depth
Verdict
Zacchera has proved well suited by cut in the ground and can confirm last month's Sandown placings with Prairie Dunes (eighth) and Moten Swing (thirteenth) when a close third behind Pablo. The daughter of Zamindar looks capable of making further progress and gets the TEAMtalk nod off just a 1lb higher mark. Mark Johnston has his team in fine fettle and Pie High has proved a model of consistency of late. The daughter of Salse followed a a victory at Ayr with a narrow defeat last time and should give another good account despite top weight. Pious scored over the minimum trip at Leicester last month but has the pedigree to suggest she'll be well suited by this trip but stablemate Persario faces a much stiffer task having narrowly landed a Southwell maiden on his most recent start.
