Verdict
ZAIDIYN is penalised for his recent win at Bangor but Danny Cook could afford to ease him down and still win by six lengths. He should have enough to hold off Scorpions Sting, who went close over track and trip on his return to action. Northside Prince is another to consider after finishing second over a longer trip at Sedgefield while Un Noble looks a likely improver having finished closer at Hexham on his latest start.
