Zandicaular handles fast ground well so should have no difficulty with the forecast firm going and looks to have solid claims at the weights so gets the TEAMtalk vote. Richard Hannon's charge landed a similar event at Kempton last month and has acquitted himself well in the face of stiff tasks since to suggest that he will take plenty of beating in this grade. Commanding is a big danger on the pick of his form but isn't the most reliable and has to give weight to the selection. Montecassino Abbey has not been at his best of late while Shove Ha'Penny has something to find on these terms.
