Verdict
David O'Meara is striking while the iron is hot with ZORAWAR, whose 6lb penalty for a very easy victory over the course and distance last week is unlikely to prevent another big run so he gets the nod. Miss Bates gained her first-ever victory on Tapeta at Newcastle though that was at Class 7 level and she's up 5lb. Sea Shack's only success to date came on Turf but he very nearly doubled his tally here last time when just caught over a furlong further and he looks certain to give a good account. Lord Murphy has gained all of his three victories on this track though was beaten in a seller here last time but Zarkavon ran an incredible race for a 150/1 chance when beaten a short-head here last week and if staging a repeat would have to be considered.
