Zowington can win today at the main expense of Peopleton Brook and Golden Brook. Chris Wall's charge looked as if he would soon be winning when running well in defeat at Sandown recently. He acts on any ground so whether the rain comes or doesn't, a good run can be expected for his in-form stable. Cashelmead certainly knows how to win and is now a pound below his highest winning mark so looks a threat, along with Peopleton Brook who is alos below a winning mark despite winning two starts ago. He would prefer the rain to stay away though. Holbeck Ghyll tends to handicap himself with tardy starts, however he will be staying on close home whilst Azygous needs to bounce back fro ma poor last run. Golden Dixie drops back in trip but it could be that as he gets older, this eight-year-old may be losing a bit of speed so is passed over. Another open affair, and we will side with Zowington as the selection.
