ZERO VISIBILITY (NAP) won over the track and trip at the end of last month and looked to have a fine opportunity of completing a double at Fontwell a fortnight ago. Unfortunately for his supporters he fell at the last when well in command and compensation awaits. Bawden Rocks makes his debut over fences after a very long absence but he looked a progressive type when last seen and there should be more to come. Matrow's Lady dropped a level to easily land a handicap at Fontwell before finding this grade too much for her at Wincanton while Maccabees, a winner over timber here last week, is having his 51st career start despite being only six but his first over fences. Pembroke House would have a chance with an error-free round but his jumping is a cause for concern while Bonds Conquest was well beaten when runner-up at Fontwell last month.
