Another impossible-looking handicap. Zim Baby is a tough filly who deserves a change of luck but she may get taken off her feet over this shorter trip. Machree has only found one too good the last twice and Celsius has been pretty consistent this year but is still 6lb higher than when successful at Haydock in June. COPPER KNIGHT won this in 2018 and is only a pound higher. This is his track and time of year and he has plenty of form on soft ground. Arecibo gets little help from the handicapper but Orvar arrives in good form while Zig Zag Zyggy and Mighty Spirit aren’t badly treated on their best form.
