A few of these have been allocated a handicap mark and SPIRIT OF ZEB comes out best of those. He was only beaten a head at Catterick last time and Richard Fahey's colt gets the nod ahead of Seychelloise, who is not certain to find the drop back in trip to her liking. One Moment has been placed on the Polytrack on several occasions but has a bit to find on today's terms with the likes of Compton River and Crosse Fire. Mon Petit Fluer has more scope than most and may also figure.
