In depth
Verdict
ZERO VISIBILTY (NAP) has been carrying feather weights to his victories and will do so again despite a penalty for last week's facile victory at Fakenham. Alex Dunn's claim takes care of most of the extra and her mount can make all again. Dainty Diva arrives from Ireland where she won a bumper at Wexford but she was struggling when last seen in October. Bennachie has been in very poor form but a visor may sharpen up Lucky Prince though he has a long absence to overcome. Maccabees is 5lb out of the handicap but in such a poor contest that may not count too much against him.
