Verdict
Few inspire any confidence and enthusiasm is tempered further for recent Chelmsford runner-up Zayriyan given he’s had 26 starts so far without winning. HUDDLE has scored over a mile here and breeding suggests she’ll stay this extra distance. Beaten only a length when fourth on her latest outing, Bill Knight’s filly may be the one to side with. Muraaqeb and Arlecchino's Arc have both won over the winter though neither have figured subsequently but Famous Dynasty races over course and distance for the first time since winning here in January and Dora's Field has her first outing on the Flat since 2018.
