    Verdict

    Zamdy Man won a lower grade novice chase at Hereford last month but is progressing well over fences and should figure in this better company. Aminabad drops back in distance after scoring at Catterick while THE DUTCHMAN fell four fences from home at Wetherby last time when still in contention. But Sandy Thomson’s charge had won over today’s trip at the latter track back in November and may edge a tight contest. Sweet Belle looks outclassed but there is prize money for fourth.
