Soft going is an unknown for many of these so this may be ripe for an upset, though stablemates Ava Go Joe and Ugo Gregory both arrive in peak form and Tim Easterby also runs the enigmatic Strongbowe. Oso Rapido and Mossbawn are other recent winners but ZUMURUD looks to be lurking near the foot of the handicap on a decent mark and deserves a change of luck. A case can also be made for Musselburgh third Separate in first-time cheekpieces and Tashgheel won in Ireland over the summer and is worth another try over this trip with the unexposed three-year-olds Red Genesis and Abbey Heights also requiring a second look.
