In depth
Verdict
ZOUMOON improves with every run and was beaten only a neck at Salisbury last time with a subsequent winner back in third. Free As A Bird finished closer at Lingfield without threatening while Harry Did is preferred to both Wait And Hope and Global Asset of the likely improvers. Sir Garfield is a speedily-bred half-brother to several winners and is preferred to Lion‘s House of the newcomers.
