In depth
Verdict
Zero To A Hundred mainly races on Dirt, as he did when scoring here in November and on his last start, but was narrowly beaten over 7f on Turf last April. Ursa Minor, a winner at Yarmouth in 2019 for John Gosden, has performed well under an apprentice the last twice and Ray Dawson takes over. Boston George had been racing over shorter on Dirt before staying on nicely over a mile on Turf a fortnight ago and should make a bold bid to get off the mark for Doug Watson. KING OF ARMS also won for the Gosden yard at Kempton two years ago and hasn't had much racing subsequently. He ran easily his best race here when upped to this trip last time and gets the nod.
