ZAMANI is dangerously well treated so it's worth taking a chance that a return to hurdles sees him bounce back to form. Highlander Madrik strikes as one who could have more to come in handicaps so he's potential danger, particularly if backed. It's possible the return to testing ground will help Lusitanien so he's also on the shortlist.
