Zwayyan never got competitive when fourth in one of these sat Chelmsford last time but was a fair third at Ascot the time before and would be thereabouts on that form. So Beloved shares top weight but he’s not the force of old and David O’Meara may have a better chance with the consistent-if-limited Tukhoom. Above The Rest is another to have travelled down from North Yorkshire and he’s well treated on past form. Haddaf and Sir Roderic are the only course winners in the line-up but BOY IN THE BAR makes more appeal under Cieren Fallon. Ian Williams’ charge has not enjoyed much luck since winning over 6f at Ayr. He’s never won over this longer trip on Turf but can put that right today if the gaps come in time.
