Verdict
Kieren Fallon needs a change of luck and can boost his confidence by steering Heathyards Pride home in the finale. Zonic Boom and Field Spark make the most appeal out of the rest. The latter has shaped as if he is coming back to something like his best of late and could represent good value here if he hits the gates running. However, he was well held by the selection at Pontefract and will need everything to drop just right for him here. So too will Zonic Boom, who has a fair amount of ability but has so far been frustrating to follow. The step up in trip might bring about some improvement and as the mount of the apparent champion jockey elect, he is sure to be a popular choice. Nevertheless, Heathyards Pride and Fallon have already proved themselves as a formidable partnership and they get the nod to extend their haul together here.
