Chaos Control was well behind Perseus Way at Huntingdon two runs ago with the winner going on to run Nusret to a length-and-a-quarter in the Adonis at Kempton with Pawapuri fourth. SCRIPTWRITER was favourite that day but was badly let down by his jumping and finished tailed off. That wasn’t his form as he’d beaten Perseus Way comfortably at Cheltenham in the autumn - Milton Harris won this with a similar type 12 months ago. Bo Zenith could be the Gary Moore first string and is on an upward curve so warrants respect and Willie Mullins’ filly Zenta looks a threat to all on her fine third in the Triumph last month.
