Verdict

ZIGGY STARSHINE has to concede weight all round but is fancied to quickly resume winning ways back in novice company after a very good second in a Salisbury conditions event. Karl Burke's Wateera appeals most of the five newcomers and could pose a major threat though, especially if the market vibes are positive. The progressive Crystal Kraken also has the form to play a part.
