Verdict

Wrotham Heath landed a Nottingham maiden by six lengths in October and there was nothing wrong with his defeat by Ektihaam on his return at Newbury. Suraj caught the eye on his debut over 1m2f here and could hardly have been more impressive when tackling this trip at Doncaster, coming home no less than 11 lengths clear of his rivals. But ZAINA just gets the vote as she has improved with stepping up in trip and should do so again. She had subsequent winner Turnofthesun behind when scoring at Doncaster. Cape Safari would like some give but Natasha Rostova was very impressive on her debut at Wolverhampton and could be anything.
