The winners of the last two renewals are back for more with last year’s victor Zipedeedodah arriving in better form than Bosham after placing over track and trip recently. The consistent Jorvik Prince should run his race again having just missed out at Lingfield while Jack The Truth has been winning at Southwell and remains unexposed. Red Stripes won here last time but BERNIE’S BOY escapes a penalty for landing an apprentices’ race at Lingfield a fortnight ago under the talented Nicola Currie, who is back on board today so another bold bid is expected.
