        slightly worse than midfield, raced keenly, ridden after 2f out, never nearer

        In depth

        Verdict

        Creek Harbour’s earlier double came over shorter trips but Bartat won over today’s distance at Wolverhampton and is 3lb higher. That looks stronger form than Rochford’s victory in classified company while Rajman is not out of this off his current mark. ZAHIRAH has slid down the weights since last year’s success at Kempton and having finished in front of Frow when a close-up fourth over track and trip last month, it could be her turn once again.
