ZEALOUS comes here with a penalty for Friday's impressive victory at Haydock where he pulled clear over that 7f trip. This doesn't look much tougher and he can complete a quick double. Catastrophe has been staying on at the finish in all three starts over 7f so this will be in his favour while Billy Roberts ran on to lead close home over Beverley's stiff 7f and is another certain to appreciate the step up. Bo Bridget looked a certain future winner when just touched off on her debut over this trip at Thirsk and, though disappointing subsequently, it would be no surprise to see her bounce back. She finished in front of Airton in that Thirsk event and should have his measure again.
