Scored by just over 2l over 1m here (stakes race) beating Brenden James and Nelson Bay 21 days ago; bidding for a hat-trick and boasts a creditable five from eight record at this track; looks likely to be involved.

Verdict

A fairly open heat but it's hard to get away from ZINOVI. He is thriving at present and can confirm superiority with Brenden James and Nelson Bay who were behind him when last seen. King Regent might have a say, Lanciafiamme and Scottish Kiss have excellent course records and are respected, and the well drawn Scottish Kiss is a potential player.
