Newcomer EXTREMELY ZAIN ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to make a winning start to his career here. The hint should therefore be taken if he's strong in the betting. The step up to 7f seemingly counted against Viking Glory here last time and he is feared back at this trip, while Starryfield shaped like a sure-fire future winner when second on his introduction at Doncaster during the summer and he needs considering, too.
