ZODIAKOS is upped in class off a 4lb higher mark but was winning for the third time in his last four outings when successful at Redcar and should make another bold bid in his current form. Highland Colori represents last year’s winning trainer and has slipped down the weights this season while Gurkha Friend went close at Ripon the last time he raced in this grade. Mohab failed to cope with a 5lb rise last time having won at Hamilton earlier while Saint Equiano attempts today’s longer trip for the first time and Clef ran nowhere near her best on her reappearance back in May.
