      Verdict

      ZAPPER CASS (NAP) appreciated the return to this venue when scoring by over four lengths over track and trip on New Year’s Day with Warrior's Valley back in third. A 4lb penalty is unlikely to anchor Mick Appleby’s charge in this and he can go in again. George Thomas debuts on Fibresand having won at Lingfield last month and is 5lb higher but Skeetah sneaked into a place here last time without looking like winning. Fair Alibi’s maiden win here last year is his only success so far but Tabaahy should be sharper for last month’s reappearance.
