Verdict
The Black Baron was only third to That's The Deal here in March but had his revenge at Southwell last month, beating his old rivals by eight lengths. Lucy Wadham's charge is expected to come out best of that pair again today and is preferred to top weight Manger Hanagement and the disappointing My Flora. Monarch's Way is also proving difficult to win with while City Press fell when odds-on at Fontwell and it remains to be seen if that has affected his confidence. ZAMA ZAMA is plunged into handicap company after just one run over fences but showed promise on that occasion and is possibly well treated here - he gets a tentative vote.
