Zzoro won a Class 3 handicap on soft going at Epsom and wouldn't be suited by drying ground. Winged Spur bounced back to his best at Redcar where he was always travelling well though a 7lb rise makes this more difficult. FRESH TERMS completed a double over this trip on ground with some give in August and almost made all at Chester last time when just failing to concede 7lb to Ebqaa. He can get back on the winning trail as Maybe Today's debut success here in August came on very fast going. Ghazan has been lightly raced and stayed on nicely over an extended mile at Beverley but Glorious Poet has yet to prove he stays this far.
