Oj Lifestyle went agonisingly close here last week and commands plenty of respect. That being said, the five-year-old pulled very hard and stepping back up in trip might prove to be his undoing if racing in a similar manner. With that in mind, ZARAKERJACK gets the vote having improved on his last couple of starts since being switched to turf and handicap company. River Alwen got his head back in front at Lingfield, and Giselles Defence can't be ruled out of a trappy little affair either. |
The 10f trip is a worry for OJ Lifestyle who is essentially a mile and though running well here last time did pull hard. He does like Epsom, but the slower pace up in trip is going to make him even harder to settle. In a very tight race, the ratings point marginally to ZARAKERJACK who is the least exposed of the quartet and who is suited by 10f and fast ground. The other two are both dangerous, Giselles Defence perhaps the most so. He is ultra-consistent, effective in the conditions and ran well at Newbury last time. |

Back to form despite racing too freely when beaten a short-head off 72 over 9f here last time. Suited by a mile, acts on good to soft and good to firm, possibly not soft. Likes Brighton and Epsom. |

Ran to form back down in trip when beaten 3 1/2l off 71 at Newbury last time. Significant jockey booking. Effective from 10f to 12f and acts on any ground. In good form and on a fair mark. |
