Verdict
Dylan Alexander didn't stay a mile at Salisbury two runs ago and found 6f too sharp at Chepstow last time but won a seller over this trip on Polytrack in July. ZAHRAT NARJIS has yet to run a bad race and can finally open her account with the handicapper starting to show her some mercy. She's preferred to Key On Kodiac, who drops back in distance after his recent second here though is still preferred to top weight Peter Park and Spanish Boy who hasn't progressed from an opening fourth at Salisbury. Chelmsford winner York Minster was tailed of next time at Ffos Las while Cogent needs more. Rainbow Rebel has been best over 5f so far.
