Verdict

HASSAAD has strong claims dropping back down in class. She found only one too good over track and trip last month and the winner has subsequently gone in again. Oriental Lilly finished behind the selection here and Lucky Lodge has plenty to find on collateral form but Zebulon had placed on a couple of occasions over course and distance before a below par effort at Wolverhampton and looks a threat. The Right Choice has been thereabouts at Southwell recently and has the beating of Global Hope on latest running.
