Verdict
Zamoyski is fit from the Flat and more than capable of figuring in a race like this. Heavey has only won a maiden so far but seemed to find 2m6f a shade too far last time at Cartmel. Trapper Peak won twice for Stef Keniry at the start of the year but has changed stables again since. Superefficient has placed twice recently but still creeping up the weights and doesn’t look as progressive as some of his stablemates. NATHANS PRIDE (NAP) may not be the force of old but has tumbled down the weights and it will be disappointing if he can’t hold his own in this company. The unexposed Calvinist and Lock's Corner are also worth a market check.
