      Verdict

      ZIKANY was well backed on his handicap at Lingfield and only beaten half-a-length. The extra yardage here should be ideal and he gets another chance. Wolverhampton winner Dansing Bear makes his debut on Turf raised 5lb but can’t be ignored. Vitruve ran a shocker last time at Salisbury so Eagle One may prove the pick of the remainder.
