A competitive handicap where ZOMERLUST is taken to repeat last year's success in this race at the main expense of Glen Shiel. The selection comes here in decent form, acts on any ground and at this track, and is now 1lb lower than last year's victory, so he makes plenty of appeal. Glen Shiel has a six furlong course win to his name and has ground conditions to suit today, though he is high enough in the handicap and will have to be at his best to win. Feelin Foxy remains on the same competitive mark as when runner-up over this trip at Nottingham last time, while Internationaldebut remains tough to win with, but will be thereabouts. Zomerlust can go in again.
