Zarrar is penalised for winning a maiden hurdle at Plumpton though has placed in both subsequent starts. It remains to be seen if AGGY WITH IT fares any better under a penalty having won a mares’ novice hurdle at Market Rasen but she beat a previous winner on that occasion and Dan Skelton’s charge looks worth sticking with. Fitzroy has a shout at the weights but was well beaten on his reappearance while Force Ten never threatened at Plumpton on her hurdling bow, though today’s faster going may help.
