Verdict

Kayf Willow beat a subsequent winner over course and distance in October and won’t be far away today if fully wound-up following a winter break. Driftwood Haze arrives off the back of an easy win at Ffos Las but has to carry a penalty. Zanstra was a bit disappointing when only fifth when favourite at Ludlow earlier this month and WESTERN MILLER has more scope. He was well beaten at Cheltenham on NewYear's Day but that was a hot novices' contest and today's much quicker going should see him in a better light.
