Casement^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: James Doyle| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 80

3/1

Probably needed his seasonal reappearance and things went wrong at the start on his latest start. Worth another chance but ideally suited by softer conditions.

Form: 3172-08

Scottish Summit²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: S H James| T: G A Harker| OR: 76| BF| D

6/1

Boasts a progressive profile and returned with three quick runs that included a win and two seconds. Looks like there's more to come and remains competitively handicapped.

Form: 463-122

Voi^t¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: C Allen| OR: 75

12/1

Hasn't been suited by slowly run races on her last two runs but remains a touch high in the handicap and others preferred in a small field.

Form: 4-32145

Zain City¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M R Channon| OR: 79

11/8

Won with ease on his fourth start in maiden company and now makes a handicap debut. Could be well treated and likely much more to offer at this longer distance. Looks the one to beat.

Forecasts

Zain City (11/8), Rampant Lion (11/4), Casement (3/1), Scottish Summit (6/1), Voi (12/1), Grapevine (14/1)

Another small field and with no obvious front runner this represents a good opportunity for ZAIN CITY, who likes to race on the pace, to follow up on a comfortable maiden win and he could be ahead of the handicapper. Scottish Summit likewise looks on a good mark and is also moving in the right direction while Rampant Lion is respected for a leading trainer with a good record in the race.
