Zamadance was well ahead of Belle's Angel when scoring at Kempton last month and can figure. Bridal March is usually in the mix and Silvestre De Sousa takes over the reins with Joe Fanning riding stablemate Dominating. Snookered was only beaten a length at Leicester on his handicap bow and is preferred to other lightly-raced types such as Lucy's Law and Cliff Bay but the vote goes to VINNIEVANBAILEYS, who finally showed some improvement at Redcar last time for a slide down the weights.
