      In depth

      Verdict

      ZAMEKA will likely prove popular having gone close in both outings so far. Defeated by only a neck by the unbeaten Tiber Flow at Newcastle last time, she can open her account. The more-exposed Handel is rated 79 though has run well below that mark recently but Tessy Lad is a likely improver. The four-year-old Cassius Dio makes a belated debut but is preferred to stablemate Spirit Of Cimarron of the newcomers.
