Verdict
ZOLTAN STAR has been well supported in both starts so far. Green on debut, he also had excuses at Chester last month and could take advantage of his maiden status here given he’s entered in all of the big sales races later in the year. His yard also run Haydock winner Raging while Sienna Bonnie showed good speed in a Listed race at York after winning at Bath but the extra furlong could be a problem. Oscula won over 6f at Brighton, however, and Dairerin was caught right on the line over this trip at Newbury. Dusky Prince was going away at the finish at Brighton but Flaming Rib’s win at Nottingham looks stronger form.
