Successful when dead-heating in selling company over an extended 7f at Beverley (good-to-firm) last time out. Forecast ground conditions markedly different today.

Runner-up over 1m2f at Leicester (good) last month. Also filled the same position on soft ground at Wetherby earlier that month and interesting despite disappointing in cheekpieces (retained) last time out.

Runner-up over this trip at Epsom last time out. Wore a hood (retained since) for the first time when fourth on good-to-soft ground at Brighton the time before and interesting following a 2lb drop in the weights.

Best effort this year came when third over 1m at Chepstow (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Rated 3lb lower than when winning on good-to-soft ground at Epsom 13 months ago.

Disappointed on heavy ground on final start of 2016 at Hamilton over 1m4f in September. Finished last of 12 at Wolverhampton on seasonal debut in early May and likely best watched at present.

15/2
Finished fourth on each of his last three starts over a variety of trips including 1m4f at Leicester (good) last week. Races off a 3lb lower mark today and won on soft ground as a two-year-old. Races from out of the handicap today.

Forecasts

Transmitting (5/2), Arithmetic (9/2), Castle Talbot (5/1), Touch The Clouds (15/2), Zaria (8/1), Iberica Road (8/1), Indigo Princess (12/1), Champagne Rules (20/1), Karam Albaari (33/1), Harry Holland (66/1)

Verdict

ZARIA put in her best performance of 2017 when third last time out and can go two better by taking this competitive looking handicap. The selection is racing off a mark 5lb lower than for her latest success and can get the better of Transmitting who ran well at Epsom last time out while Castle Talbot another to run well last time can claim third today.
