Verdict

Argus won over a longer trip at Kempton earlier in the year and Sea Tide is another dropping back down in trip but won at Carlisle last season off a higher mark. Past Master remains unexposed having returned from a lengthy absence with a placed effort on the all-weather and Flood Defence won at Sandown last year but ZZORO (NAP) gets another chance in this. He struggled in a higher grade race at Newbury last time but finished in front of Chance To Dream when placed at Doncaster before that and can race off a lower mark today.
