Juan Horsepower won a maiden over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton last week but has been beaten off lower marks in handicaps before. He’s still preferred to stablemate Metronomic, however. Killermont Street also landed a maiden race when successful over 7f here last month and goes handicapping for the first time. A winner at Epsom earlier in the year, ZAMJAR was well ahead of the re-opposing White Royale when runner-up in this grade at Lingfield recently. He makes most appeal on that form and can go one better in this.
