Zamond arrives at Sedgefield narrowly behind the two top-rated runners on paper but boasts a more solid and consistent book of form, has already proven he handles these conditions, and continues to progress in the right direction. Sovereignlightcafe and Tracker Issue, though rated a pound ahead, will need to justify that edge against a horse whose profile looks tailored to this test, while Vanilla Dancer also merits respect from just off the pace. The selection is Zamond.
