ZEBS LAD (NAP) is a winner without a penalty having landed an apprentices' race over track and trip a week ago. Go Charlie was well beaten in third so Nikki Evans' charge should make another bold bid in this. China Excels has looked high enough in the weights since landing a double earlier this year while Royal Connoisseur has returned a losing favourite the last twice now. Mon Petit Fleur was placed again when third here a fortnight ago but remains unexposed and could figure.
