Verdict

It has been impressive how well ZUBAYR has been running on the level recently. Paul Nicholls' gelding was originally a Flat horse but has since run creditably in a number of good hurdle races. Now returned to this sphere he has won once and finished second twice, and in this easier handicap looks set to run another big race. Cape Peninsula is expected to run her usual big race and can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Top Beak who can go well off a low weight.
  1. Zubayr
  2. Cape Peninsular
  3. Top Beak
