ZAPPATA (1) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has racked up wins at his last three runs, the latest scoring over 1600m at Bath. Has a strong record at the journey and should go close. HILL O RUE (5) returned last time with a solid second at Redcar over 1600m. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. FLAMBOROUGH HEAD (2) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1600m at Redcar, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. That followed a win at Redcar at the previous outing. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to bounce back. MAVETHEFORCEBEWIVU (7) is a six-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 8 lengths when sixth over 1600m at Wetherby. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
