Zalimar is proving expensive to follow but is given another chance here today, Marhaba Million and Lodgician may be the ones to chase her home. Luca Cumani's filly has been beaten twice during the summer when a well backed favourite, but almost atoned at Newmarket last time when just pipped by Fen Game. That appeared to be a much stronger event than this and she can finally lose her maiden tag this afternoon. Marhaba Million ran his best race to date when finishing third to the in form Mceldowney last week. He still looks on a fair mark and should be capable of making the frame. Lodgician did well to finish fourth to the improving Azizam at Redcar last time. He gets in here on bottom weight and has to be rated a big danger. The pick of the others could be Finland, but Zalimar will not find many easier chances to gain her first success and she gets our vote.
