Verdict
A low-grade lottery with a token vote going to ZED CANDY GIRL off her current mark. Kaaber dead-heated for first over 6f here in September while Athassel carries 6lb extra for also winning over 6f here last week, his first success in 34 attempts. Fossa has not won since 2013 and Ershaad has only won a maiden in 18 starts but Captain K is one of the least exposed and was placed here for Gordon Elliott on an earlier visit.
