ZANAHIYR (3) might be the class act in this race as a multiple Grade 2 winner. The six-year-old placed third in this years G1 Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham (UK) during March and was last seen running fifth of six at the top level here in April. Down in grade on seasonal return and could prove hard to beat. RUN FOR OSCAR (2) is a smart performer who placed third at Royal Ascot (UK) in June when third attempting the 2 ¹¹⁄₁₆m Queen Alexandra Stakes.
