Verdict

Wishfull Thinking is rated 3lb higher than PTIT ZIG by the official handicapper but the latter would have finished ahead of the veteran chaser in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon last month had he not come down at the last. Providing the younger horse doesn't allow his old rival too much rope here, he should get back to winning ways. Triolo D'Alene has a bit to find with the other pair, despite receiving 10lb, and is also making his seasonal reappearance.
