Race preview
Having bounced back to his best when scoring over 1m2f at Ayr in late July, Chaturanga warrants consideration on his follow-up bid. However, the combination of a 4lb higher mark and drop in distance by a furlong may prove the three-year-old's undoing, with ZARABANDA edging the vote. The David O'Meara-trained mare arrives on the back of a solid fourth at Chester and she is racing off the same mark as her victory at this course in October 2023. Faylaq is also noted, despite this trip looking on the sharp side for him.
