Auteuil winner BO ZENITH was beaten a long way when odds-on for his UK debut at Sandown. He’s also penalised in this but that run should have blown away a few cobwebs and he has experience on his side. Postmark never got competitive at Kempton but the better ground here will suit. Of the newcomers, Flat winner Greatness Awaits makes plenty of appeal having switched to Ben Pauling’s in-form yard though Jacks Profit has the more recent form. Open Champion won over 1m4f on the Flat when trained by Roger Varian and is another worth a market check
