Verdict
Zaisan wasn't beaten far over 6f at Windsor but then finished last of four at Kempton after attempting to make all. Different tactics may be employed here and he should get competitive. Eagle's Realm couldn't go the pace over this trip at Wolverhampton but will be expected to improve as will A Boy Named Ivy, last of four here last month but very much in need of the experience. Irish raider There's No Danger should be suited by this trip on his debut but there's no stopping Mark Johnston at the moment and FAST MOON, a half-brother to a two-year-old winner, is handed the vote though Sonderbar is another newcomer to keep an eye on.
