BOURNEMOUTH (2) finished seventh over 1m6f at this track at his most recent appearance on April 5. One of the genuine hopes in the race. ZATARA MAGIC (1) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was beaten 5.5 lengths into 11th over 7f at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. PEACE IN OUR WORLD (3) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was beaten 5.5 lengths into 12th over 7f at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but with added fitness he is capable of testing his rivals. BATTLEGROUND (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m1f at Vaal. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
