Formscan - Torosay is better judged on her C&D second rather than her subsequent Carlisle disappointment and the handicapper has aided her cause by dropping her 3lb. Jirko was no match for an easy winner here at the beginning of last month and remains capable of better, but the vote goes to chasing debutant BIG ZOUK. Nicky Richards' gelding won a point-to-point in February 2024 and the switch to fences can bring about the improvement required.
