Verdict

ZAKRAM (NAP) went close at Wolverhampton last week with previous winner Amarillo Gold and Solitary Trees behind and looks up to winning off his current mark. He’d earlier beaten Moondial when scoring at Lingfield and the latter went on to win over a shorter trip at Kempton last week. Pedro And The Bear finished third of five runners at Chester last time though was still well beaten.
