ZLATAN won over a mile at Sandown under Sophie Smith last month and has placed twice since over shorter trips off higher marks. The eight-year-old has plenty of form over 1m2f and looks the one to beat here. Menin Gate has been absent since scoring at Redcar last October but his trainer can get one ready at home. Irv would have claims on his third at York in June but this trip stretches his stamina and the penalised My Thought goes beyond a mile for the first time while Casilli has been beaten three times off higher marks since completing a double at Ripon in May.
