In depth
Verdict
GENERAL ZOFF has been beaten less than a length on his last couple of outings over 2m at Kempton. He finished in front of both Trinity Girl and Bird For Life on the last of those occasions and Bill Muir’s charge may come good today racing off the same mark as last time. Sir Canford was still beaten a long way when second over 1m6f here earlier in the week with Sea Of Mystery further behind while and Oi The Clubb Oi's scored off a similar mark over 1m6f at Nottingham during the summer.
