RACING POST VERDICT

Zitkala Sa ran a notably encouraging race at 40-1 on her first try in handicap company, finishing third, and as the top-rated runner here she is entitled to build on that with the experience now behind her. A first-time tongue-tie is added and she stays today's 10f. Femme Beauty, placed most recently over further and dropping in trip, is the chief danger, while Delusional returns to a more suitable distance in first-time blinkers. Zitkala Sa is our selection.

Rain cap will be all the rage in the betting, but again when isn\'t it. was 2/1 beaten fav last time out and essentially is 4lb worse off here, Im going to take an eachway gamble on BULLINGTON BRY switch stables last time out and well supported in the market, the 1st time blinkers were slapped on and seemed to do an ok job, I would prefer this horse to potentially get a bit more cover, he will stay 7F/1m and has the speed to tuck in if needed. the race is not great and if Jessica Macey can squeeze a bit more out of this horse on his 2nd run he could go close, of a career low marl and 4 places on offer at 15/2 happy to have an eachway play on this.
