KEEPER'S CHOICE won twice over C&D last year and, having shaped as if the run was needed on return at Newbury 3 weeks ago, Adrian Wintle's charge is fancied to enhance his fine track record. Both Zulu Girl and Danville opened their respective accounts for the season last time out and they can chase the selection home in that order.
