Zezenia appears to need some give in the ground so will not want conditions to dry out further. Ajyaall failed to land the odds at Wolverhampton but is still heading in the right direction and Modmin never looked in any danger at Goodwood and makes his handicap debut. Turn On The Charm’s win came on Polytrack but he’d placed twice earlier at Doncaster and Silver Samurai could run well at bigger odds. ITKAANN had Sword Beach behind when winning at Salisbury two runs ago. He never threatened next time at Kempton but was held up well off the pace and should be better suited by this galloping track.
