        Verdict

        Dynamo Walt won this in 2017 but hasn’t been at his best lately but last year’s winner ZAMJAR looks primed for a repeat. The latter returned to action with narrow-margin defeat at Doncaster and Silvestre De Sousa takes over the reins today. The latter partnered Global Academy at Kempton last time while Poyle Vinnie scored over track and trip with Equimou and Zac Brown behind before beaten in better company at Pontefract. The selection’s stablemate Miracle Works has something to prove off his current mark while Something Lucky and Our Oystercatcher finished practically upsides at Ascot without threatening.
