        Verdict

        ZEALOT included a course and distance hat-trick in his four-timer and looks worth sticking with until beaten given nothing looked like catching him here last time. Court Of Session has come up short in this grade and finished behind Hafeet Alain at Kempton last time while Counsel’s recent second came in a lower grade at Chelmsford. Alrehb ended last season with placed efforts at Newmarket while Diderot and Dark Pine return from lay-offs.
