Verdict

ZEPHLYN is thriving at present, having won two of his last four starts including a course and distance victory 12 days ago. He's proven at least as good as ever on turf and can follow up despite the rise in weights. Captain Potter, denied by just a head at Newcastle last time, is a previous course winner and rates the main danger, while Quercus Robur arrives in good heart after his Pontefract success.
