Verdict

ZOULIGAN failed to justify strong support at Wolverhampton 39 days ago, yet a wide draw on that occasion offered some mitigation and back on turf from a further reduced mark, he could well be worth siding with in an open-looking affair. Last-time-out winners Final Night and Jachin are others to consider, as is the consistent Keats House.
