Back From Dubai and Kodebreaker scored over 7f here on their latest starts but ZUMAATY has been in good form over today’s trip. The latter won at Ayr before going close at Wolverhampton and Iain Jardine’s charge looks the one to side with in this. Chelmsford winner Hopeman Harbour has proved best on Polytrack so far while John The Baptist has been in better form at Kempton lately.
