Lady Zodiac was only beaten a head at Brighton last week but this is tougher and she's had plenty of chances. Sportlobster is also looking pretty exposed, though he drops in class for this. Barchan and Bakht A Rawan may finish closer now handicapping but fellow handicap debutante MAZOULA (NAP) gets the nod having posted a better effort when fourth at Windsor. That form looks strong enough to land this given a winner has already come out of the race.
