Better than ever when completing his hat-trick in 12f Ascot handicap in May. Not seen since posting a good fifth of 14 at Epsom (12f, good to soft) 96 days ago but he still needs considering.

Winless in 2024 but he comes here in very good order, third of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, soft) 12 days ago. Enters calculations.

It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2023 and only seventh of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, soft) 12 days ago. Others appeal more.

Back on track in first-time visor when third of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Much respected with headgear again sported.

9/2
Gelded and not disgraced when fourth of 12 in novice at Southwell (12.1f) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and very much one to consider back in handicap company.

Forecasts

Crystal Mariner (4/1), User Amistoso (9/2), Great Blasket (5/1), Zealot (5/1), Kotari (5/1), Diderot (11/2), Sweet Reward (10/1), Dayzee (25/1)

Verdict

ZEALOT looks ready to strike again judged on his very good recent Goodwood third so can fend off Diderot who wasn't seen to best effect when third at Windsor last time. User Amistoso is handily weighted if the fitting of cheekpieces has the desired effect and can also have a say along with Crystal Mariner and Kotari.
