Verdict

There should be enough pace on to see hold-up performer and three-time course winner ZAMBEZI FIX run to better effect, and he might be able to capitalise on his falling handicap mark. The game, front-running Bucephalus arrives in great heart and can run well again despite a 7 lb hike for his latest success, while Sao Carlos should be more at home back on a galloping track.
