Verdict
It is hard to get excited by all but a few in this with Perfect Words and Ypres boasting recent winning form but with their current marks asking more of them than they have achieved in a while. Whipphoun d is unreliable but could just choose today to produce one of his better performances with the yard going well. Nellie Deen drops in class for another in form yard and has each-way potential but we hand our vote to SPIRIT OF ZEBEDEE . His performances have slipped since being dropped to 5f but off this mark, back to his optimum distance and with headgear refitted, he has every chance of bouncing back for a stable that have been enjoying a good spell this month.
