Verdict
This may be a step too far for recent Kempton winner A Boy Named Suzi, who has yet to score on turf, while fellow three-year-old Thubiaan has rather lost his way lately. Bay Willow is another struggling for form, but Huff And Puff and Rockfella are capable of making their presence felt and Hayzoom is starting to look well handicapped. Bowdler's Magic wasn't beaten far at Chester last time and Woolfall Treasure is proving consistent but so is ZUIDER ZEE, who may just be better suited by this trip than the top weight. The four-year-old has run some cracking races in tough handicaps this year without quite managing to get his head in front but the tide may well turn in his favour here.
