Racing Post verdict
Third-partyZafaan heads this Lingfield Class 6 contest over ten furlongs on good-to-firm ground with a clear edge over the field, sitting narrowly ahead of Private Project and comfortably clear of the remainder. His rating advantage, combined with the conditions that should suit, makes a compelling case for him to dominate a modest heat. Private Project and Panthere Noir are the most credible threats, with Lapidarist also worth a watch if the front two disappoint. **Zafaan** is our selection.
