Verdict

Zero created a favourable impression when making a winning hurdling debut when successful at Exeter in May and Emma Lavelle's gelding is taken to follow up on that success here, getting the vote ahead of Art Market and Regal Sunset. The last mentioned disappointed on his latest start here in August but earlier form on the flat and over hurdles is solid so he has to be respected. Zamboozle ran promisingly on his hurdling debut here in August and has claims. Champagne Rossini is no better than plating class and of more interest may be Gary Moore's Art Market, who comes here fit from the flat and has shown ability over hurdles in the past. Zero looked one to keep on the right side of when successful at Exeter though and he looks the one they all have to beat.
