PADDY THE HORSE (2) produced two victories here. Now below his last winning mark. Positive signs at Kelso recently and runner-up over course and distance before that. Primed for a big run. Veteran CAPTAIN ZEBO (1) has been in excellent form at this venue recently. Track and trip winner last June and won here tackling 2m4 1/4f in latest. Remains feasibly-handicapped and could be in the mix. SERIOUS EGO (6) found success here attempting the journey. Raised 5lb for Perth win. Remains fairly weighted. The lightly-raced CHUMLEE (9) also makes for some appeal.
