Verdict
Spirit Of Zebedee has won three times around here from just five starts and, after scoring by just a short-head last month, was narrowly beaten by today's rival Tavener, another three-times track winner, last week. The winner has a 6lb penalty to overcome so wouldn't be certain to confirm the form though the one to take out of the race is Falcao, who was returning from a long break and was slowly away before staying on at the finish. Canimar has never won in 16 starts and was down to Class 7 when runner-up at Kempton so the vote goes to AT YOUR SERVICE. Paul Howling's charge signalled an imminent victory when runner-up over the track and trip on New Year's Eve and came good with a decisive victory at Chelmsford in January.
