In depth
Verdict
Arrowzone has won in soft ground but is 9lb higher than his Leicester success while Tullia ploughed through the mud to score at Windsor last time and carries a penalty as a consequence. Santa Teresa failed to land the odds at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and tries her luck on Turf for the first time while Aran Sky will find this tougher than when a close-up fourth in a claimer on the all-weather. ZAIN EMPIRE's best recent effort came when runner-up in soft going at Newmarket in August and Robert Cowell's colt gets the nod back on a similar surface for the first time since.
