The British Lion won over 7f at Wolverhampton recently but has something to prove over today’s trip judged on previous attempts. Harbour Vision is another unproven over a mile having won over 7f here last month but there are no doubts about ZORAWAR (NAP) lasting home. The latter landed a double over the extended mile at Wolverhampton before going close over 1m2f last week and can return to winning ways in this. The Special One went close here last time but is raised in class today while Channel Packet has not been at his best so far this year.
