Zyn Handicap

Developed into a useful handicapper for this yard last year, peaking with a win in the Bunbury Cup here (7f, good) in July; effective at 1m and still looks on a workable mark but he was out of sorts in final two runs last season and has bit to prove after 286 days off.

Seven-time turf winner including off 2lb higher over C&D last July; added a third AW win to his record in December and he's held his form well in six subsequent runs; drops back in grade after a creditable third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month and he should get a decent tow into this race; dangerous.

Won two in a row at around 1m on AW last summer and latest was off 1lb lower; looks interesting on that form and hasn't had much luck in running in two of his last three runs; left Michael Wigham for 14,000gns last month; now returns to turf for the first time since 2023 but he's one to keep an eye on for new yard.

Both wins have been at 1m2f (good to firm) but he went close in this race last year and has form figures of 322 in 1m handicaps this season; remains feasibly treated on his best form and should be in the mix again.

Has done really well since joining current yard, with a close second at Chelmsford followed by wins at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) and Chelmsford (1m, AW); up another 4lb but he's really kicked on again this season and is open to more progress; big player.
