Zapper Cass came with a late burst to catch Lexington Times at Nottingham on Thursday but a 6lb penalty should hand the initiative to the runner-up, though Ruth Carr's charge is an infrequent winner. MUNFALLET (NAP) is a dual winner over the track and trip and is 2lb lower than when landing a better handicap at Haydock in October. He looks a bit better than these and can see off the challenge of Irish raider Sharp Defence, a winner at Salisbury in April after returning from Dubai. Another Wise Kid generally runs in better company and, though on a long losing run, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him bounce back.
