Verdict

ZIGGY'S AVENGER was gelded before his recent handicap debut and showed a lot more when third at Kempton. This looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark at the expense of Paroda Diva, who showed improved form for new connections when winning at Haydock 12 days ago, and Karakula Dancer, who didn't get the clearest of runs behind the selection at Kempton.

1	Took a big step forward on recent handicap debut when third of 13 at Kempton having been well backed after a gelding operation. Races from the same mark here and looks to have been found a good opportunity assuming he proves as effective back on turf. 1st Pick 1 Ziggy's Avenger Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Michael Bell J: Hector Crouch T: Michael Bell	100	-	-	-	23%	7/2

3	Improved form for new connections when doubling her tally in a handicap at Haydock 12 days ago, responding well to the return of cheekpieces. Up 5 lb for that success but is having only her second outing at 1m so should remain competitive. 2nd Pick 3 Paroda Diva (Ire) Jockey: Andrew Mullen Trainer: Patrick Neville J: Andrew Mullen T: Patrick Neville	93	-	-	-	25%	3/1

4	Won 3 times this year and performed well in the face of rises in the weights the last twice, shaping better than the result when fifth of 13 at Kempton 14 days ago. Should be in the mix once again but finished behind Ziggy's Avenger last time so has a bit to find with that rival back on turf. 3rd Pick 4 Karakula Dancer Jockey: Liam Wright Trainer: James Ferguson J: Liam Wright T: James Ferguson	90	-	-	-	13%	7/1
