Taajub returned to winning ways at Brighton nine days ago but has been raised 6lb for that. Zipedeedodah wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Bath but a low draw on the sprint course here is a disadvantage. Prominna also looks to have it all to do from stall two but Fly True could be interesting. Crosse Fire is a speedy sport but much better on the Fibresand and 0-12 on Turf. QUANTUM DOT showed good early speed at Chepstow on his reappearance and that run will have brought him on. With Callum Shepherd taking off 3lb, Ed de Giles’ six-year-old gets the nod.
