      Verdict

      Gifted Zebedee has switched yards and undergone a wind op since winning at Ripon last May. He’s conceding weight to USTATH in this and the latter is fancied to go one better back over the minimum trip today after just missing out when attempting to make all over 6f here on his reappearance. Finch Hatton went close on a couple of occasions last term and can figure while Fairy Fast debuts for a new yard having placed at Dundalk in December but the remainder are harder to recommend unless the newcomer Casarubina proves above average.
