Verdict
ZAFEER was beaten less than a length over course and distance on his debut, despite finding himself adrift after a slow start. He’ll know more today and gets the vote ahead of Doncaster fourth Maqtal. Anglo Saxson showed improvement at Brighton last time while a couple of the newcomers are worth a second glance. Kinsman is a brother to a winner and a half-brother to three others while Frankly Mr Shankly can include a Group 3 winner among a host of winning relatives and is preferred to Sefton Warrior and Gigi's Beach.
