      Verdict

      New Hope Bullet has shown good progress this year having completed a double in handicaps before beaten at Lingfield off today’s mark. She has the beating of Michaela's Boy on collateral form but Castan won at Catterick last month though has a 7lb rise to contend with. A novice winner at Thirsk in April, ZUFFOLO was having his first outing since when third at Beverley last month. He’ll be sharper for this and, with improvement likely now handicapping, may prove the one to side with.
