Market support for the well-related Swansea Jack would be worth noting ahead of his all-weather debut but without that guide we'll take a chance with eight-race maiden AYAM ZAINAH. Mick Channon's filly has responded well to the fitting of a visor and in taking fourth at Wolverhampton shaped as though six furlongs would suit. With that in mind we're prepared to side with her now Cathy Gannon takes over despite a 3lb rise in the weights. Shakespeare's Son has the assistance of Richard Hughes and clearly rates a threat having shaped well since trying cheek-pieces but like a few of these his strike-rate isn't the best. Captain Bluebird and Nativity have both had their chances although the latter is tried in headgear and could improve while Pavement Games is well-drawn and should be as effective over this trip and Mansii is consistent and should go well.
