A good and competitive contest for the grade to end the card with some good (in this class) fibresand performers on display with Essenaitch and ZORAVAN setting the standard. The former comes here on a hat-trick having won back-to-back 7f handicaps earlier in the month and the extra furlong shouldn’t bother him. Zoravan carries a penalty but is still 3lb well-in at the weights as he will be running off a higher mark than this in the future. He showed that he was well suited by this surface last time out and being lightly-raced, still looks to have some progression in him. Anton Chigurh also has winning form here but may find top weight a little too demanding, especially giving weight to a couple of improving types. Both Royal Holiday and Stun Gun are capable on this surface although both look to have tough tasks here, while Macho Mac would have a chance if he actually settled in a race. If there is a “dark one” in the race then it would be What Usain who comes here off a lowly mark for a stable who know the time of day at this track with breeding that suggests he will act on the surface. The Appleby yard are not exactly firing at the moment but he’s one to watch in the market. 1. Zoravan 2. Essenaitch 3. What Usain
