In depth
Verdict
Zorawar has been thereabouts since landing a double at Wolverhampton in February though finished behind third-placed Channel Packet at Chelmsford subsequently. Duke Of Alba went close at Wolverhampton last time ahead of Kilbaha Lady but is still looking for his first success while Remmy D only won a claimer over track and trip in November and was well beaten at Doncaster on his reappearance along with God Willing. LAFILIA should be sharper for a recent outing at Southwell on her first start for Archie Watson. A winner in Germany last year for Peter Schiergen’s leading yard, she may prove a different proposition back on the Turf today, with Oisin Murphy’s presence a positive, and gets a speculative vote.
