All 3 of ZESTFUL HOPE's victories have come at this course and, having bounced back to form when runner-up at Huntingdon last month, he could be ready to return to winning ways from a handy mark. Galahad Threepwood looked unsuited by conditions on his latest outing so is worth another chance, with Iron d'Ex completing the shortlist.
