Verdict
Bowdler's Magic and Broxbourne are not easily dismissed back over 2m but Zaplamation went up 10lb for his recent win at Redcar and was well beaten when attempting a follow up. Foster's Road landed a double at Wolverhampton last month and is not out of this while Tappanappa can race off a lower mark back on this surface after a recent third at Kempton. However, LIEUTENANT MILLER was only beaten a short-head by Sign Manual at Newbury a week ago and Nicky Henderson's lightly-raced charge is fancied to go one better racing off the same mark today.
