In depth

Verdict

Zameyla has improved out of all recognition since getting soft conditions and is taken to land the hat-trick, at the expense of Aperitif and Just a Fluke. Michael Jarvis's filly does have to shoulder top-weight today, but has won a maiden and a classified event in the style of an improving horse and could be up to the task. Aperitif relished the heavy conditions when successful in a Haydock maiden back in August, and hasn't been disgraced in better company since. with ground conditions in his favour today we can expect a very good run. Just a Fluke gets in here on bottom weight after winning a modest maiden at Musselburgh and he should be good enough to challenge for the places. Of the older horses, Duke Of Modena would be a live danger if he can recapture the best of last season's form, however in this sort of form, Zameyla cannot be opposed.
