Forecasts

Zealous (5/4), Ezanak (5/1), Optima Petamus (13/2), Graceful Act (7/1), Khismet (7/1), Sulafaat (8/1), Barney Bullet (18/1), Carta Blanca (25/1), Shakiah (25/1), Bold Statement (33/1)

Verdict

The old lady in the field, Graceful Act showed her desire for winning races remains intact when scoring last month at Beverley and she'll find being back over this trip a help having struggled since at the same course over shorter. Sulafaat is yet to shine on turf but does come here off a positive run on Newcastle's AW track, ensuring she too merits consideration. Carlisle winner ZEALOUS looks the one to side with despite a 5lb rise however. He is still well-treated on his old form and has his weight taken off by Connor Wood's claim, having seemed to thrive in first-time cheekpieces three weeks ago.
