In depth
Verdict
Peace Seeker never looked like catching Tanzeel over track and trip last time. But he's still preferred to the likes of Go Far and Honeymoon Express in this grade. Nezar drops back to sprinting on only his second start for a new yard and can figure on the best of last year's form while Secret Asset is back on a winning mark but has proved best over 5f so far. ZANETTO won a Listed contest at Newbury last season and has tumbled down the weights subsequently. Andrew Balding's charge gets a speculative vote to bounce back to form dropped in class for this.
