Bishops Court was fancied to do better at Taunton at the start of the month and only found one too good. He may be progressing and is a danger to all here. Zanstra won a similar contest at Huntingdon two weeks ago and is only 6lb higher but ALBERT D'OLIVATE (NAP) was a good third at Wincanton last month and that looks the best form on offer - Robert Walford's charge can open his account today. Twin Barrels, Oh So Fruity and Malibu Rock are all returning from a lengthy absence.
