PANAMA BLACK went very close off this mark at Wolverhampton 11 days ago so tops the shortlist with the drop back in trip a positive if anything. Whizz By unearthed further improvement when seeing off a subsequent winner when completing a course/handicap hat-trick here 7 weeks ago and is an obvious threat, with Zarathos also considered.
