In depth
Verdict
Katheefa got his head back in front at Southwell recently and remains on a winning mark back on Turf. But he’d prefer some cut in the ground and stablemate ZEBULON makes more appeal. The latter ended last year with success at Newcastle and Ruth Carr’s charge looks up to winning off his current mark on the evidence of a recent comeback run when not beaten far at Wolverhampton. Muatadel won over today’s trip on the all-weather before struggling over 7f while Epeius landed a double at Newcastle in February and could go well. Afandem looks no nearer to ending a long losing run and Eldelbar is hard to assess on his debut for new connections having won in Spain and France.
