6/4

Upwardly-mobile 3-y-o handicapper in 2019. Lightly raced since but far from disgraced in listed company since, third on return at Kempton (10f) last month. Sound claims back in a handicap (C&D winner)

20/1

On a roll on all-weather since the turn of the year, completing Newcastle 4-timer (12.5f) in March. Solid second at Chelmsford (13.3f) last time but this looks even stronger despite the small field.

Forecasts

Zabeel Champion (4/7), Faylaq (6/4), Madeeh (20/1)

ZABEEL CHAMPION enjoyed a productive 3-y-o campaign and got back on the up with his AW reappearance under his belt when scoring in good style over shorter here (9.7f) 9 days ago. That effort suggested strongly he's one to keep onside and he gets the nod back up in trip. Faylaq, back in a handicap, can give him most to think about.
