Verdict

Fort Bastion has every chance at the weights but that was also the case in a claimer at Beverley in August when he could only finish fourth. It remains to be seen if ZAEEM can take advantage of today’s favourable terms but he takes a big drop in class having struggled in handicaps this year so gets the vote. Pushaq is another on the drop along with Not Touch and See You When but all have something to find if the selection runs up to his mark.
