    Verdict

    Zephyros went close at Lingfield on his penultimate start but still looks high enough in the weights while Sharp Operator’s recent good form has been in lowly Class 7 contests. Huddersfilly Town has recorded both wins so far over track and trip, including her latest start, but that was back in December and STRINGYBARK CREEK has the more recent form. He landed a double with a recent success at Wolverhampton and can go in again with Darragh Keenan’s allowance negating a 4lb rise.
