Zuleika Dobson was group placed in the past but was beaten at long odds-on by Sequential in a firm ground maiden at Redcar earlier this month. Sir Michael Stoute trained that winner and sends Madaar up in opposition. Pat Eddery is an interesting booking but the horse will need to step up on his eighth in a Newmarket maiden. Connections appear not to have found the key to Hannon yet and he is best watched tonight.
