A competitive opener with all respected. MR ZEE has returned in good form from his winter break and backed up two solid placed efforts with a cosy Leicester success over this trip. He does have a tendency to hang at times but scored under today's pilot for that recent success and can handle a 4lb rise in the weights. Silastar impressed with the nature of his Kempton success and looks a leading contender if in equally spruce form returned to grass. The extra two furlongs is no concern, having won over further in France prior to joining Gary Moore. Andaleep has the benefit of being the sole course and distance winner on show and has performed with credit on both starts for his new yard. Pledge Of Honour has been in good heart on recent starts and Mc'Ted looks on a fair mark.
