Verdict
Victories at Brighton don't often carry much favour with form students, but a winning experience should have boosted the confidence of ZAEEM and he can follow up off a 6lb higher mark. Highly tried as a juvenile, the assessor allocated him a mark of 75 on his introduction to handicapping and he exploited it to the full. Kiz Kulesi won a maiden on the Rowley Mile so it would be no surprise to see him leave behind a modest effort at Sandown. Falcon In Flight has been absent since disappointing in soft ground at Windsor. Jeremy Noseda's filly had previously won a Yarmouth maiden by nine lengths though the form has taken plenty of knocks in the interim. Ruby Night could do better for a faster surface while Jack Who's He and Nelson's Bay hold few secrets from the handicapper but are capable of going close on their best form.
