In depth
Verdict
A recent winner at Chelmsford, Zac Brown is proving much better on the all-weather and finished last at Bath earlier despite racing off a lower mark. Major Valentine bids for a four-timer raised 7lb after beating Roy’s Legacy over track and trip last month but CLASSIC PURSUIT beat the same horse at Chelmsford last time and comes out slightly the better on these terms. Roy’s Legacy went on to beat Silverrica at Chepstow but both Mighty Zip and Classic Flyer have a bit to find with the selection on latest running.
