      Verdict

      ZEALOT was rated 59 in December when recording his first win for Mick Appleby and another six victories later is now rated 101. He makes a quick reappearance after scoring at Chelmsford a couple of days ago and may not have finished winning yet as he steps up in distance. Nolton Cross and Protected Guest filled the places over track and trip recently and are both preferred to Buxted Too in this grade. Obsidian Knight finished behind the selection last time but Whimsy is of interest returning to action for a yard in flying form.
