Avenue Of Stars and Kenny The Captain occupied the places in a lower grade sprint here last week but ZIG ZAG ZYGGY won over course and distance at this level last month. All ground comes alike to the Irish raider and there looks more to come from Andrew Hughes’ four-year-old this year. It was soft going when Yes You scored at Thirsk in September and The Right Choice will appreciate the cut in the ground but Equidae’s earlier success came over a mile at Southwell. Imperial State drops down to 6f for the first time having finished ahead of both Air Raid and My Amigo when fourth at Chester last time and could go well.
