Zamparelli was pulled up in his reappearance in a Mixed Open at Larkhill but should strip fitter here. Zee Man and GABORIOT both failed to complete in the race won by Bennys King at Fakenham earlier this month but the latter was third behind the same horse at Hereford in January and this drop back in trip should see him in a better light. Firak won between the flags under Sean O’Connor 11 days ago but has more on his plate today.
