Verdict
The Character ran well at Haydock three runs ago but has shown nothing since. Zabeel Star was in good format Carlisle in the autumn and is fit from a couple of outings on Tapeta so has to go on the short-list but 13-year-old FIRST OF NEVER shows no sign of slowing down and has won twice since the turn of the year. He only had to be pushed out over course and distance three weeks ago and, despite an 8lb, can again beat fourth Hey Bob who is 0-17 around here and 0-27 over the trip.
