Sularno, Not Now Lewis and Zorn are the shortlisted trio here, with Sularno taken to follow up a last time out success. Zorn may not have won for two years, but has now slipped down the handicap to an attractive mark. He underlined that point when second at Lingfield recently and can go well again here. Not Now Lewis has won twice at this trip at Kempton this year, and although beaten in a couple of sellers on the Turf, returns to his winning distance here and is respected. Successful over seven furlongs as a juvenile, Sularno then endured a winless run over longer distances. However, brought back to this distance last time, Sularno romped home. A six pound penalty today looks unlikely to prevent Sularno winning again.
