Verdict
ROYAL ACT couldn’t prevent Zolfo from completing a double when runner-up over course and distance. But it was also heavy going on that occasion and he’s taken to go one better in this and confirm latest running with both Mistercobar and Yourholidayisover. Miss Amelia has a shout on a recent second at Market Rasen but Grand Coureur’s earlier success over these fences came over a longer trip. Little Stevie scored at Market Rasen during the summer but on faster ground and has undergone wind surgery since last in action in July.
