Verdict
Zulu Girl finished in front of Porterinthejungle when runner-up over track and trip earlier but disappointed on the all-weather last time. Cap D'Antibes won at Chelmsford before returning a losing favourite at Wolverhampton but DAWN VIEW bids for a hat-trick of course wins. She’s penalised for last week’s success but returned a cosy winner and can go in again. Rinty Maginty and Harlequin Rose filled the places in a classified event here last time but will find life tougher in this.
