ANDHESONTHERUN has the best piece of form on offer with a second in Listed company at Sandown in May. A bit of a disappointment at Ascot last time, he can get back on track here. Zaraee looks his main threat given the latter made a winning debut at Haydock a fortnight ago which looks superior form to the victory of Captain Whoosh at Ffos Las. Southwell winner Left Defender will do well to get involved in this company.
