40,000euros yearling by Zarak; dropped right away in novice at Doncaster (7f, good) last month, having got upset in the stalls (two others were withdrawn at the start) and looked too revved up in the race; started favourite that day, so it will be interesting to see if his backers return.

Strong in the market prior to his debut win at Leicester five weeks ago (7f, good to soft) and he overcame evident inexperience on that occasion; the form has taken several knocks since and the time wasn't great so he could prove vulnerable under a penalty.
