      Verdict

      Lightly-raced four-year-old ZARIUS ran his best to date when third over 7f here in November. He's worth another chance over this extra furlong with a 7lb claimer on board and Chris Wall's gelding is the selection. Royal Island has been in good form on Polytrack but was a well beaten favourite here last time so Bring Sweets could prove a bigger threat if taking to the surface. Irish import Powerful Presence is worth noting on his British debut.
