      Verdict

      Zihaam won this last year and was on a pound lower mark when scoring over 1m2f at the last meeting. He has a penalty to carry but has to be on the short-list. Qawamees is still a maiden and steps up in trip after a good run at Chester while Sioux Frontier is in decent form though wouldn’t want the ground to ease. LOW PROFILE has a superb pedigree and hasn’t had much racing. His recent second at Pontefract suggested he could have more in the locker so he gets the nod. Celestial Force won his opening two races but hasn’t made the expected progress, though he’s been racing in better company and this represents his easiest task for some time.
