Verdict
Not the stronget of events and Sir Mark Prescott's Zingari could well be good enough. She showed plenty of pace at Warwick before getting tired and she is sure to strip fitter here. Simpkin is beginning to look exposed, but may improve a little for the step up in trip, while Cold Turkey, who showed a little promise on his debut, will be suited by this faster ground, having been found out on a slower surface at Kempton.
