Oneofapear made a decent reappearance when second at Doncaster with Ejteyaaz well behind and has to come into the reckoning, while Yarmouth winner Sharakti is an improved animal this year and should make another bold bid. Prince Apollo is another to consider after wins at Lingfield and Brighton this year, but the vote goes to ZEBRANO. He looked to have a bit up his sleeve when scoring over mile at Ffos Las on his latest start and there should be more to come over today's longer trip for Andrew Haynes' in-form yard.
