Strictly judged on what we have seen then ZULU ZANDER is hard to oppose given the manner of his Leicester victory and a penalty which is hardly taxing. However, there are good reasons to fear Album given the support for him at Newbury when he showed speed to the distance before the soft ground took it's toll. Mark Johnston has made a good start with his turf juveniles. Don't Joke, his runner here, has a speedy pedigree and his dam won on her debut. Caution demands a market check, particularly as the yard's record with this age group here is 8-17 when going off at odds of 3/1 or less.
