LALLYGAG is improving and the Newton Abbot runner-up can make it third-time lucky here ahead of winning pointer King Arise, who is a half-brother to a Flat and hurdles winner. Zucayan wasn’t beaten far when second at Worcester in June but the winner has done nothing since. Sorellina Royale, by noted NH sire Kayf Tara, is an interesting newcomer but is bred for further.
