The jump in grade proved too much for ZARATHOS recently at Musselburgh where he contested a fairly valuable Class 2 handicap. The step up to 9f probably didn't help either and, back down in class and trip here, he is taken to deservedly open his account. Cairdeas was nearer last then first at York last time, but is well worth another chance and he is feared most, given concerns regarding the suitability of this ground for the otherwise appealing Mayday Malone.
