Verdict
We finish with an interesting bumper where ZAZAMIX has the call but only just ahead of last time out winner Hudibras and the Paul Nicholl's newcomer Earth Beat. The pick was outclassed when trying to win Aintree's champion Bumper under a penalty last time after scoring in this class at Newbury. He kept on well for that success so he should stay this trip nicely. Hudibras will have to win this the hard way conceding weight all round after a comfortable success over distance last time out. That was an improved effort from his debut so it is feasible he will progress again. Paul Nicholl's saddled a winning debutant in a bumper at Fontwell this week and Earth Beat is trying to match that feat. He is related to a few winners and should be respected especially if attracting market interest. Benleigh and Llama Farmer are also expected to run good debuts so check the betting in regards to these two as well but Zazamix should prove too strong.
