Verdict

DURDLE DOOR gained her first handicap win with something to spare at Lingfield in December and, despite being up in grade, she's well worth backing to follow up. Zarzyni, who fared best of those held up when second at Southwell a week ago, ranks as the main danger, although a steady pace could give Shallow Hal a realistic chance from a likely good tactical position.
