The veteran ZOMERLUST is impossible to oppose in this. He's clear at the weights and though only placed in plating company of late, he was up against much higher rated rivals than he faces today and should make no mistake this time. In fact, it's difficult to make a strong case for any of the opposition given Finefrenzyrolling finished last at Kempton recently and it was last summer when the likes of El Fuego and Rub Of The Relic ran anywhere near their best. Inde Country is a winner over the minimum trip but has yet to race over 7f.
