AL ZAMAN was runner-up to this week’s Craven Stakes fourth Contrapposto on his debut back in October. There’s plenty of stamina in his pedigree and this longer trip should suit. Winning hurdler Hurricane Hollow could only manage fifth on his first start since 2015 and debut for David Barron while Wemyss Point has been placed in bumpers and has his first start under this code. Both Petitioner and Orsino are related to middle-distance winners and newcomers to note.
