ACCADEMIA is a filly on the up and having been value extra considering the position she came from in a race that was far from truly run over C&D last month, Ed Walker's charge is fancied to bring up the hat-trick. Zatsgood's best form has come on all-weather, but he looks a major threat in this, with the progressive Home Hero taken to edge out Walson's Law for minor honours.
