Zig Zag has moved from Joseph O'Brien and made a good start over timber for new connections. That was back in October but he's on a lowly mark on the level and can go well. Riviere Argentee has a course and distance victory to her credit and will enjoy the conditions while Card High, another winner over track and trip, is on a 1lb lower mark though hasn't run since June. Tan Arabiq has been going well on the all-weather while Ghostly Arc won at Newcastle in February but in a moderate handicap a chance is taken with CLEMENTO, who showed some promise for Roger Charlton last season and will have needed his first run for new connections at Doncaster.
