Several of these have been jumping including Herculaneum, who won at Naas in March, and Vocito, who has been chasing without much luck. Grizabella has only been running moderately over timber so the vote goes to ZOFFANY BAY (NAP). A smart hurdler in France, he was a close second in a strong Ascot handicap hurdle in February and reverted to the Flat with a fair run behind No Hassle at Tipperary last week when Magi Gal was close behind.
