    Verdict

    ZAEEM couldn't live with The Nile at Lingfield last time which is not surprising given the latter is now rated 20lb higher. The consistent Godolphin colt can at last open his account by landing this on his handicap debut. Daunt beat lesser opposition in a claimer last month and will find this tougher and likewise Yarmouth plating winner Final Delivery. Good Luck Charm makes more appeal on his second at Windsor and the lightly-raced Mick Channon runners Essell and Good Of Luck are not easily dismissed on their first start in a handicap.
