In depth
Verdict
This can go to ZAC BROWN, who was caught close home over track and trip last time. He had Verne Castle back in fifth when scoring at Wolverhampton in January and the latter went on to land a double over course and distance and ran well again in a Listed sprint recently. Bowson Fred has been thereabouts without winning at this level lately confirming he’s high enough in the weights while Kimberella has joined Richard Fahey and won carrying top weight off a higher mark at Ripon last year.
