Billy Garritty is one of the more experienced riders in this and ZAP takes a drop in grade after a fair run in a Class 2 handicap at Sandown on Friday. The once-smart handicapper has dropped to his lowest-ever mark on his 36th start and can gain his fourth victory. Soaring Star made all for a comfortable victory over 6f at Ayr and, as that was only his sixth run, is entitled to make further progress. Trinity Lake has run very well in his last two starts, the latest when getting no sort of run at York, and Zac Wheatley's claim puts him right in the picture. Lion Tower has only won on the all-weather but Tukhoom has a course and distance victory to his credit and has been racing in better company.
