Verdict

Karl Marx has been in good form this year and if able to back those efforts up could go close again. Ruby Russet is the best of the Colin Tizzard pair and she improved last time over C&D. A similar effort will see her on the scene again with Harry Cobden back on board. A chance is going to be taken that ZAMALIGHT can take advantage of a lenient opening mark in handicaps. His best form on the flat was on good ground and this surface will be much more to his liking than what he has encountered over timber so far.
  1. Zamalight
  2. Ruby Russet
  3. Karl Marx
