Disappointing favourite at Kempton last time out but is still learning; however, he needs to brush up on his jumping and, while his yard is buoyed by yesterday's big-race double at Cheltenham, this fellow is a lesser light and has a bit prove at the moment; he is still a leading contender in this small field and is likely to capitalise if he old rival, Beneagles, drops his guard.
Cost his connections £50,000 but has yet to repay the faith with a win. Still, he is progressing nicely and getting better with each run. He was well on top of Alpha male when they met at Ascot and, with the step up in trip in his favour, he looks the one to beat.

Forecasts
Beneagles (4/9), Alpha Male (15/8), Zamparelli (12/1), Fact Flow (16/1)
Difficult to get away from BENEAGLES on the evidence available and he is taken to confirm his superiority over Alpha Male, who is respected but needs to brush up on his jumping. Difficult to make a case out for either Fact Flow or Zamparelli on this occasion. Both can benefit from the experience, though.
- Beneagles
- Alpha Male
