Verdict

ZUHAIR finished last on his only start as a two-year-old but left that form well behind on his reappearance at Nottingham. Though the merit of that success is debatable, he doesn’t have much to beat here. Affwonn has switched stables since successful on his introduction at Wolverhampton in December but Victorious Night has placed in three of six career starts, though is proving hard to catch right.
