Has gone over 2 years without a win under either code and didn't show enough in 2 turf handicaps last month to be overly positive here.

Latest win at Lingfield (2m) in January. Not seen to best effect when seventh of 8 in C&D handicap 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Back to only 1 lb above his latest winning mark.

Seven-time winner for David Simcock earlier in career but off since finishing fifth over C&D in January 2024. Betting probably the best guide to expectations given the lay-off.

C&D winner. Disappointing at Newcastle when last seen in February but had run well over this C&D prior to that and is well handicapped if staging a revival after a break.

9/4
Fit from hurdling, ran creditably back on the Flat when third of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (1¾m, firm) last month and found himself caught too far back when down the field at Newbury (1½m) since. First Flat start over 2m.

Forecasts

Moel Arthur (13/8), Fram Castle (9/4), Green Team (5/1), Zivaniya (7/1), Lunar Power (11/1), Indigo Times (16/1), Super Superjack (25/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on ZIVANIYA having dipped to his lowest mark for a while. Moel Arthur had an excuse here last time and is second choice ahead of Fram Castle.
