Verdict

ZESTFUL HOPE's second at Uttoxeter (when clear of the remainder) is comfortably the most compelling piece of recent form on offer and he's fancied to go one better at the possible expense of Ask Brewster, who has more to offer as a chaser if his jumping improves. Ex-pointer Chosen Templar is an interesting newcomer to this sphere.
