It took Zumaaty 17 attempts to open his account but he did so at Ayr last month while Eye Of The Water has only won once in 22 starts on the all-weather. Twistaline won here early in the year and is preferred to Kodebreaker but Snooze Lane and FAIRY FOOTPRINTS are less exposed. The former went close over a longer trip here last time but the latter finished runner-up over course and distance and can race off the same mark today.
