A couple of these are penalised for winning including Plantadream, who returned to action with a victory at Kempton last month but EMRAAN makes more appeal. The latter made an impressive debut when scoring by over three lengths over track and trip and Ian Williams’ charge gets the vote on that form. Monya finished ahead of Zhukovsky when third at Wolverhampton on her debut but both have disappointed subsequently and are upped in distance today while That's A Shame looks up against it.
