Zillion won on the Flat in the spring but form over hurdles so far has left a bit to be desired. Subway Surf needs to bounce back from a modest reappearance at Plumpton but Leicester winner Ace Time is improving and the three-year-old Gavin is already a course and distance winner. GREATEST STAR beat the odds-on Sure Touch in a maiden at Southwell and may be worth sticking with as Bridget Andrews prefers him to Knotty Ash.
