Zen Master was only beaten a neck at Taunton last month over a slightly shorter trip but has been raised 6lb. Chandos Belle has gone up 9lb for winning over a similar trip at Huntingdon while Krugermac has had very little racing and was made favourite on his return from a lengthy absence at Fontwell, though was well beaten. Reckless Behavior also failed to justify market support last time and the interesting one might be UNBLINKING. Placed on his hurdling debut last season, he only ran twice after. However, he’s looked much stronger on the all-weather in recent months and was only beaten half-a-length over 2m at Kempton last month. An opening mark of 105 might be generous and Jordan Nailor takes off another 7lb.
