      Verdict

      In the claimer, Zarzu gets the nod and it looks competitive for the places. Zarzu simply stands out on the ratings and holds leading claims dropping to this grade for the first time. Ever Cheerful has performed with a degree of credit at this level recently but looks a declining force, a similar comment applying to Fulvio, although he would hold a good chance if recovering his Wolverhampton claimer-winning form of last September. Buzzin Boyzee and Nikkie Bea have every right to be competitive for a place at this level, while Hotchpotch drops to this grade for the first time. Overall, though, the one to beat appears to be Zarzu.
