Catching Zeds bids for a hat-trick having won a couple of Class 7 events here. But this is tougher and FINAL DELIVERY gets another chance. He went close to adding to his three previous course wins when beaten only a short-head last month and can go one better off his current mark. Polar Forest and General Tufto are others threatening a return to winning ways, though the latter has recorded all 11 wins on the Fibresand at Southwell so far. Rockweiller has a bit to find with Catching Zeds but still looks best of the rest.
