ZODIAKOS has yet to race on this surface but won on the Fibresand at Southwell last week and is taken to defy a penalty. Bahkit won over 1m2f here last year and has his first start since August while Kilbaha Lady scored over the same distance at Nottingham in June but is a course and distance winner in the past and looks to have decent claims. Totally Magic is usually thereabouts without winning and Cricklewood Green has yet to win on the all-weather in 17 attempts.
