Most of these are old pals. No Speed Limit doesn't win as often as he should but is just 1lb higher than when scoring in December. It's almost two years since Zig Zag Zyggy won a race but he's performed very well from this mark the last twice though he was behind Betrayed when Leanne Breen's charge made most and battled on well last week. However, the one to take from the race is HERO OF THE HOUR, still a maiden after eleven starts but less than two lengths behind despite failing to get a clear run. The likes of Teddy Boy and Ginsburg are others to consider in a tricky finale.
