Verdict

ZANNDABAD could do with brushing up his jumping but there's definite scope to do better in this sphere based on his Flat ability, so he's awarded the tentative vote in what is an open race by maiden hurdle standards. Ballyfin performed with credit in a warm C&D race last time so he's a threat, along with Vincenzo on the back of a breathing operation.
