ONENIGHTONTOWN arrives in the best form. He was racing form 5lb out of the weights when runner-up over course and distance last week and Micky Hammonds’ charge can confirm superiority with Zen Master. Cool Country may well have finished third at Catterick if not for falling at the last fence but Zuckerberg was well beaten when sent off favourite at Falkenham and a long losing run continues. Muroor finished second at Market Rasen two runs ago but disappointed last time.
