This looks weaker than the first division but is still a decent contest in its own right. Zamparelli disappointed on his hurdles debut last month but the yard is in better form now and he could easily bounce back. The Nicky Henderson-trained pair Post War and Milzipa both have possibilities too. CAPTAIN BUCK'S bumped into a useful sort when a close second at Taunton on his hurdles debut and is taken to go one better.
