Verdict
ZOFFANYS PRIDE went close at Ffos Las recently and Andrew Balding’s charge has as good a chance as any with today’s apprentice taking 7lb off his back. Magnificent Madiba won an amateurs' race at Brighton last time and Loving Your Work has won twice at Newbury this year. Sakhalin Star was narrowly beaten over 1m3f at Hamilton, Stoneboat Bill won a lower grade handicap at Leicester on his penultimate start when only a head in front of Inflexiball and Wallangarra was headed close home at Wolverhampton last week but this is tougher.
