Verdict

ZALVADOS forced the well-fancied Limited Reserve to pull out all the stops at Haydock last time and there is nothing of that calibre in the lineup this afternoon. Previous runs at Cheltenham and Bangor would indicate that run was no flash in the pan and he will get few easier opportunities to open his account. Lord Marmaduke is lightly raced and his latest third makes him the main danger in a field where most have plenty to prove.
  1. Zalvados
  2. Lord Marmaduke
  3. Captain Jack
