Verdict

Recent Wolverhampton third Zaeem appears the pick of Dean Ivory's trio in this but he has to give 10lb to HABESHIA (NAP). Michael Bell's gelding won here and at Kempton in November and was backed to return to winning ways at the latter track last time. He was only beaten a head and can recoup losses, despite being raised a couple of pounds in the interim. Shifting Star may be the danger as he hasn't been beaten far in any of his last three starts and is still coming down the weights. City Of Angkor Wat is consistent but that means he's getting no leniency from the handicapper.
