Treacherous, a maiden on Turf but eight-times a winner on the all-weather, completed a Kempton double in February before stepping up in class at Wolverhampton and running much better than his finishing position suggests. Zip ended the last campaign with a victory on heavy going at Catterick so further rain would enhance his claims. LOFTY was unlucky not to have won last season but put matters right at Newcastle in February. He's lightly raced and should be capable of better so gets the vote over Saisons D'Or, who makes a quick reappearance after failing by just a neck in a Newcastle handicap last week.
