Zelos Girl ran a promising race on her debut when a close third behind Red Rossini in a course and distance maiden and a reproduction of that effort may well suffice for Rae Guest's filly, who gets the vote ahead of Fitzolini and Lucky Numbers. The last mentioned stepped up on his debut effort when a respectable fourth at Chester last time, form on which he holds Lemon Dash, but Paul Green's colt would need to improve again on that effort to trouble the selection. Liberty Lodge makes limited appeal first time out having to give weight away all round, while stable companion Kellies Rocket looks the second best of the two Alan Swinbank runners on jockey bookings. Fitzolini has every chance on the pick of his form but is becoming expensive to follow and a better bet looks to be Zelos Girl.
