Verdict

Zim Baby won at Windsor before beaten in Listed company and is not out of this but AVA GO JOE is preferred bidding for a hat-trick. The latter beat Soul Seeker at Beverley on his reappearance and had the measure of Showalong when landing a Class 2 sprint at Ripon last time. Rayong was also successful in a higher grade at Pontefract on his latest start while Huddle Up debuts for a new yard having won at Navan in October. Thin Blue Line finished behind Wolverhampton winner Miss Nay Never before scoring at Musselburgh but Black Friday finished ahead of Call Me Ginger when runner-up over 6f at Ayr recently.
