This looks very competitive with several holding decent claims. Palmerston still looks nicely treated, despite a couple of wins this summer. Ballet Concerto got off the mark in comfortable fashion on Polytrack last time and still has some scope but ZWAYYAN is the least exposed in the contest and was also an easy winner of a maiden last time. An opening mark of 80 could be lenient for the son of Pivotal, who is related to plenty of winners and the type to improve further. Top Beak, back to form at Leicester, and Sandown third Column are others to consider with Faithful Creek possibly the pick of the older horses.
