Plenty in with a squeak but the vote goes to ZAMOND, who couldn't have gone much closer at Cartmel a fortnight ago and this step back up in trip might be enough for him to snap a losing streak stretching back to December 2022. Buxted Reel has been in good order over the summer and having been freshened up, he heads the dangers. The selection's stablemate Jipekaa Machin can edge out stable-switcher Crookbarrow for third.
