Hart Stopper carried a big weight to victory over track and trip last time and an apprentice takes 7lb off his back today. But Yimou has been raised 8lb for last month’s win at Newbury and also steps up in class. ZAIN HANA appreciated the drop down to this grade at Windsor when beaten only a length having slipped 7lb down the weights since joining John Butler at the start of the year. It could be her turn again and she gets the vote. Busby has only won on the all-weather so far but Promote is worth a second glance on her handicap debut having placed in novice company here.
