Verdict

A wide-open first Pertemps qualifier of the season in which the suggestion is ZAIN NIGHTS, who doesn't win by far but made it 3 victories from 4 starts in handicap hurdles at Haydock when last seen in the spring and Lucy Wadham's progressive 5-y-o can pick up from where he left off. Gordon Elliott sends a couple over from Ireland and his The Wallpark may emerge as the main threat, with Como Park, Gowel Road and Supreme Gift all having plenty going for them, too.

  1. ZAIN NIGHTS
  2. THE WALLPARK (IRE)
  3. COMO PARK (IRE)
