Verdict
Zylan returned to winning ways over track and trip a fortnight ago and is 5lb higher. But the latter was beaten by KATHEEFA (NAP) here at this time last year and having finally showed some signs of a resurgence for a tumble down the weights when third over track and trip last week, Ruth Carr’s grey can come good again 11lb lower than when last successful. Requinto Dawn has won here before and scored at Wolverhampton last time while Storm Over and Alsvinder were both placed at the latter track recently. Equidae won over 7f here earlier while Wasntexpectingthat scored over track and trip when last at this venue and has recently switched yards.
