Zulu Zander wasn’t winning out of turn at Bath but has run poorly in three previous visits here and may struggle under a penalty. Sur Mer finally got her head in front at Windsor in August and is improving but SHINING came back to her best at Lingfield and, despite a 4lb rise, is still well treated on past form. King Robert could run well at bigger odds and Dream House is another to consider. Secretfact is a past winner here but victories have been few and far between in recent years.
