Trapper Peak has been found it since winning a seller here in November. Fitness could be an issue for the lightly-raced Zante but he has more scope than the majority of these. Innoko is 5lb higher than when beaten in a lower grade at Taunton last time but there are possibilities about veteran Dormouse, fourth recently at Plumpton. ORTHODOX LAD finished ahead of him in that race, however, and also had a couple of these behind when third here 12 days ago. He’s not won since 2013 but is well enough weighted to end that barren run today.
