ZEEBAND deserved plenty of credit for scoring in clear-cut fashion in a race that was muddling at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, so is fancied to land another valuable prize with further improvement on the cards. Rodrigo Diaz should be just as effective over this new trip and is still one to be interested in, with Just Hubert worth a second look in first-time headgear reunited with Tom Marquand.
