5/4

Placed twice in maiden hurdles for this stable prior to running well back on the Flat when narrowly denied in a classified event over this trip at Southwell recently. Should go close at the least with a repeat of that form.

Forecasts

Zafaan (5/4), Walk The Moon (11/2), This Time Maybe (11/2), National Health (7/1), Cosmic View (14/1), Spartan Times (14/1), Ocean Ridge (14/1), Galactic Glow (16/1), Limelight (25/1), Disquietude (25/1), Liberty Looming (25/1), One Colour (200/1)

Plenty with chances in the second division of this classified event but ZAFAAN might prove the answer having been in good form over hurdles and on the Flat for new trainer Charlie Clover in recent months. An unexposed profile suggests Spartan Times may do better again and he's second choice ahead of Limelight and National Health.
