Verdict

Palisade is sure to be popular after a 6l romp at Lingfield last week which secured a first career success and Sir Mark Prescott is renowned for his ability to deliver winning sequences from stable inmates. He seems sure to go well under his 6lb penalty but ZAIN ARION revealed a major jolt of improvement on her handicap bow last month when upped half a mile in trip when running the progressive Diamond Geyser close on the Lingfield all-weather. In receipt of plenty of weight all round, she represents a value option on just her fifth career start. Kevin Morgan has done well with Almutamarred since picking up the Street Cry gelding from Roger Varian but this looks tougher than the level of last month's Newcastle win. The remaining trio cannot be discounted, of which Knight Commander looks most likely under Jamie Spencer.
