Zamjar was partnered by an apprentice when scoring at Newcastle in October and has switched yards since. Steelriver landed a couple of plating races here earlier in the year and Slowmo won a seller over track and trip in January. Springwood Drive has every chance if ready for action having recorded a double on the Turf in August but GRIGGY (NAP) has the advantage of a recent run. The latter will be sharper for last week’s outing over the minimum trip and will appreciate the return to 6f. Mutabaahy was in good form earlier this year and is preferred to handicap debutant Marvel.
