Verdict

LE COEUR NET makes most appeal in this despite having his first run since November when winning easily at Ffos Las. He’s 6lb higher today but beat Alf ‘N’ Dor easily on that occasion and the latter went on win at Plumpton with today’s rival Le Capricieux back in third. Anthony Honeyball’s charge should have the beating of the latter on that form but the remainder have struggled recently. A winner over hurdles here, Zen Master has failed to complete over fences the last twice now though Triple Chief is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best.
