In depth
Verdict
A couple of these are penalised for recent wins. Zarjaz scored at Southwell and should go well again but MUTAFANI had a subsequent winner back in third when successful at Chelmsford last month and Simon Crisford’s colt gets the vote on that form. Tigershark will be sharper for a recent comeback run but the remainder with racecourse experience are harder to recommend while David O’Meara’s filly Agincourt may prove best of the newcomers.
