Given the testing ground conditions, stamina could be the deciding factor amongst these juveniles and ZEBRANO is selected to make amends after coming a cropper last time when strongly supported. Brazilian Art is the obvious danger after finishing runner-up on his last two starts while North Cape and Attainable are worth a close check in the market. The selection looked badly outpaced at a crucial stage over the easy seven furlongs at Lingfield last time and bred to be a middle distance performer next year, if it turns into a slog, his reserves of stamina could be called upon. Brazilian Art is bred to relish some give underfoot and that appeared the case on his last two starts. The form of his latest second has been franked with the fourth landing a weak Catterick maiden subsequently. Attainable is another that should be better in time, Amanda Perrett's juveniles tending to progress with time while North Cape, already gelded is American bred and may find this tough on debut. Googoobarabajagal shaped with some promise first time out finishing fifth, five lengths off the fourth who landed a nursery last week off 68. Itshim was the subject of strong support on debut but disappointed there and second time out. Zebrano is given the vote to land it but Brazilian Art looks a big danger.
