This is much the weaker of the two divisions and a good opportunity for ZIPPY to open her account. She never threatened when fourth last time at Brighton but has shown her best form on ground with some give and is among the least exposed. Captain Scooby is having his 172nd career start but did win off a 6lb higher mark at Ayr back in May and likes to get his toe in. Robbie Roo Roo was well beaten when attempting a hat-trick off this mark at Nottingham but still makes more appeal than the maiden Tilsworth Micky and State Of The Union, who must be low on confidence.
