The weights are headed by Dominico. Highly tried when with Paul Webber, he is now with John Jenkins and should at least be fit following a recent spin at Ascot. We will take our chances with Murzim. The former Gerard Butler inmate was given a peach of a ride at Ascot by David Kinsella and if similar tactics are utilised again, he could be difficult to peg back. Fast Cindy hails from a yard that are in good order and a top jockey is booked. She stays up to two miles on the flat but it is rare for her to be seen out so early in the season and she invariably needs a run or two before reaching a peak. Ziggy Zen produced a career best at Wolverhampton when stepped up to two miles for the first time. Charlie Cyzer and Kieren Fallon have formed a decent partnership on the all-weather but there is a lot to do on old turf form. Caliban has has a busy winter over hurdles and on the all-weather but is still a maiden on turf.
