Verdict

Positive Impact was only beaten half-a-length in what looked a hot maiden at Leicester last month but he will have to reverse earlier running here with KING’S CRUSADER, who gets the nod receiving 7lb from last year’s Kempton winner Bay Of Honour less Benoit De La Sayette’s claim. Zabeir was still showing signs of inexperience over 1m2f at Newbury last month and makes more appeal than the once-raced Positive Force.
