Commensurate with York sprint handicap standards, this is ultra-competitive and ZOULU CHIEF heads a long shortlist of appealing candidates. Having missed the whole of the 2024 British season, he proved that his ability remains intact when a good third on his second run back from a lengthy absence at Ascot and the memory of his impressive nursery success here in 2023 remains strong. Shagraan is a much-respected main danger, while American Affair, Jm Jungle and Vantheman are others to consider.
