Verdict

ABRAAJ was beaten only narrowly despite being unfavoured by the run of the race at Kempton last time and he's fancied to make amends here, though the presence of the potentially well-treated Ney should mean the selection has plenty to think about. Zephlyn backed up January's C&D success with a sound effort at Southwell and can complete the placings.
