Zafaranah has won here three times and was in her best form at this time a year ago. Daafr is a two-times winner on the track and he's been running in better company since scoring at Haydock in August. NOBLE DAWN scored here in December and was having only her second subsequent start when a good second on soft ground at Pontefract last week so looks the one to beat. Sir Hamilton should be winning again soon judging by a fast-finishing run here a fortnight ago while Daniel Deronda makes his handicap debut on his first start since being transferred to David O'Meara.
