Verdict
SAMBEZI finished runner-up last time having won at Hereford earlier. But a conditional takes over the reins today and he gets another chance with Nathan Brennan’s allowance negating a penalty. Famous Last Word can figure having failed to threaten when third at Newbury last month while Irish point-to-point winner Lesser debuts under Rules and is worth noting. Chanceux makes more appeal than Fine Investment of the newcomers.
