A wide-open affair can go to Zayn Zen ahead of Out of India, Fantaisiste, Parisette and Doitforreel to name but a few more possibles. This really is a hard one to call compared to some of the other races on the card, and only a tentative vote goes to Zayn Zen who was a close third here on her last outing. Beaten only half-a-length by Triple Two, she really needs a step back up to a mile, but a similar effort should see her once again go close to making up for an earlier unlucky-in-running performance at Nottingham. Out of India overcame a two-month absence to run well at Chester last time and she is only lightly-raced so can pay to follow in time. Fantaisiste has failed to build on her comeback second at Newmarket in May, but took part in a much better race than this on a return to headquarters two weeks ago, while Parisette is visored for the first time and has the beating of Doitforreel at least on Salisbury running. Many in with chances then, but the finger points to Zayn Zen.
