        Verdict

        Zagaleta is back on the same mark as when winning a similar race at Nottingham this time last year, and has the same jockey on board today. Her third at Leicester last time was a fair effort, her best of the year, and she looks the best option here. Tarboush had the dubious distinction of being the only horse that Frankie Dettori lost on at Newmarket last Friday night and looks far from resolute. Gargoyle Girl bolted up in a seller at Musselburgh last time, but this looks a bit harder and she is unlikely to be suited by the drop back in trip today. Pinot Noir has changed stables since he last ran, a disappointing effort at Brighton, and can be readily opposed. Cyber Santa has solid place claims but is becoming a somewhat frustrating sort and has not won in 11 starts.
