A wide open bumper rounds off the card and as usual the betting will be a good guide but the principals look to be Zanzibar Boy, Just Jaffa and Twist The Facts and the narrow vote is given to Zanzibar Boy. The selection was a good second behind Post It on his debut but he is sure to improve and if he does he will be hard to beat. Just Jaffa rates the main danger as he is a Zaffaran gelding, half-brother to a winning pointer and he should be noted in the market. Twist The Facts is another that could go well on his latest second behind Ben's Turn but he has given the impression in the past that he would be suited by further. Of the remainder, Forest Miller is from a yard that does well in this sphere and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Zanzibar Boy who looks sure to improve.
