Zero Tolerance is the form pick in the race and is taken to get back in the winners enclosure at the expense of Something and Game Lad. The selection has not won for nearly two years and is a tricky customer to catch right. That said he has been performing well in defeat recently suggesting that he may well land himself in the winners circle shortly. He was sent to the Curragh recently where he finished second to Settigano in a valuable handicap and if repeating that from he has to go close. Something is another horse that has not won for a long time but has now dropped in the weights to what looks like a favourable mark. Dandy Nicholls claims seven pounds off his back so if putting his best foot forward he can be in the shake up come the business end of the race. Game Lad has run with credit on both ho slats two outings and is another with each way claims, but for the winner we return to Zero Tolerance.
