Fitness has to be taken on trust but if ZALVADOS retains a similar level of ability he showed back in early-2019, he could be tough to beat with the handicapper seemingly giving him a chance of making a winning reappearance. Little Rory Mac is feared most making his chase/handicap debut after a solid second at Lingfield earlier this month, with top-weight Ain't My Fault another to consider.
