Zain Hana was too fresh here in the Nell Gwyn in the spring and appeared to find a mile beyond here at York in one start since. She was a winner in one start over this trip last season and could have plenty more to offer dropping in distance. Mr Wagyu has been in super form this season, with three wins, and ought to be in the firing ling again but this might go the way of MESHARDAL. He won three times last summer and was just edged out at this venue last month. He is now 7lb below his previous winning mark and capable of striking if putting his best foot forward. The admirable Englishman is not one to ignore.
