Unreliable sort who took a step back in the right direction when third of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 23 days ago, very slowly away. Remains to be seen if he's able to back that up.

Twenty three runs since last win in 2023 but bounced back to form when second of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 5 days ago, running on. Needs to back that up now.

Forecasts

Zoulu Warrior (7/4), Invincible Melody (7/2), Addarella (4/1), Punchbowl Flyer (8/1), Haziym (8/1), Court Of Session (14/1), Toomuchforme (16/1), Cast No Shadow (25/1)

Verdict

ZOULU WARRIOR arrives on the up and may well be able to find the further progress required to complete the hat-trick. Invincible Melody posted a good second at Southwell last week and is clear second choice operating from the same mark.
