This has the look of a decent maiden on paper, and it can be quickly narrowed down to three main contenders. Connections of Zhukovsky would have been encouraged by the promise he showed on his belated debut when a staying-on fifth at Wolverhampton three weeks ago. He looks disadvantaged with the weight he has to give away here though. The sole winner in the field is Notforalongtime and he improved for the step up to this trip recently when a three-length winner at Chelmsford. He should make a bold bid to defy the penalty. However, a chance is taken on the newcomer MAKRAM who cost a fair bit as a yearling and is well-related (dam a full sister to the talented Youmzain).
