Verdict
The veteran ZOMERLUST is still capable at this level as he proved earlier this year when recording a double in plating company. Unexposed on the all-weather, he's well treated on today's terms and gets the nod. One Way Or Another also has claims along with Aciano, who won a seller over a longer trip here in July. Kingswinford could make his presence felt and Vale Of Lingfield has more scope than most of these as he races outside of maiden company for the first time.
