OffZimmerman
ZIMMERMAN has returned to form on his last 2 starts and, in a change of headgear, he could be ready to take advantage of his career-low mark. Laravie isn't taken lightly, though, in her hat-trick bid, while Merrijig could go well with his reappearance run behind him.

With cheekpieces back on, stepped up on reappearance run when second to Laravie at Catterick in May. Suffered interference when third of 5 at Musselburgh 18 days ago and he's eased further in the weights.

Produced a career best upped to 21.6f when winning here in April. Did enough to confirm that effort when fourth of 7 in a steadily-run race at Newcastle (2m) 20 days ago.

Capitalised on a falling mark in this grade at Newcastle in November. After 5 months off (without the blinkers), probably needed the run when sixth of 9 at Kempton in April.
