Giant's Treasure returned a losing favourite at Redcar on his handicap debut and may prove better over 7f. Kasbah has been thereabouts over the minimum trip recently though ran well over course and distance earlier in the year. AKBAR SHAH found Zip Along too good in novice company at Doncaster last time but the latter went on to land a handicap and Ed Walker’s charge gets the vote on that form. How Far missed out on a treble off today’s mark at Ascot while Monks Stand’s earlier hat-trick came at Southwell.
