The way ZAYINA won at Brighton last time was impressive and as long as she handles the surface switched to tapeta now she should follow up. She has a progressive profile and this slight step up in trip will suit as well with Billy Loughnane in the saddle again. Faster Bee has stamina to prove but he ran right up to his best denied just a neck at Southwell last time so looks the obvious danger.

I loved the way EL ELEFANTE won on hurdles debut at Perth last month. She ended up winning by 24 lengths having travelled strongly throughout and she definitely falls into the 'could be anything' category. This is obviously tougher but she is unbeaten under Rules and her trainer thinks a fair bit of her too. She can improve again and must have a great chance. Encanto Bruno pulled up at Galway but had looked good prior and still has potential.
