This will be a serious test of stamina. ZIKANY (1) could take some beating with the son of Zoffany running out an effortless 17L winner of a Professional Jump Jockeys handicap on heavy ground at Goodwood (2m). Races 4lb well-in under a penalty and is preferred. Fellow last-start winner RUSSIAN RUMOUR (4) can remain competitive racing off 3lb higher than when staying on strongly to land a Class Six handicap at Bath. The Kempton winning NAASMA (2) cannot be dismissed under a penalty although ground conditions will be a slight concern. TAILORMAN (3) could be in the mix.
