Winning point-to-pointer Hattons Gardens has been looking a few pounds high but the assessor has dropped him a couple of pounds. ZWICKY had shown virtually nothing before landing a Sedgefield handicap when attracting some support. This looks no tougher and he's just 4lb higher. Having A Barney looks to be progressing and ran his best race to date at Wetherby in January while Agilulf also showed a bit more dash on the latter track.
