ZAMA ZAMA remains hugely frustrating and after 16 starts over fences is still seeking a first victory. But he's the obvious choice in this under the excellent Sean Bowen, who takes off 3lb. Murtys Delight was unlucky at Huntingdon last time as his young rider lost his irons. Tom Scudamore takes over the reins today and he has place prospects, though is closely matched with Waddington Hero on the form book. Vujiyama, Humbel Ben and Thats Yer Man could all figure if in the mood.
