In depth
Verdict
Chookie Hamilton is a winner without a penalty having popped up in an apprentice race last time and Illustrious Forest recorded a C&D double in a lower grade before finding one too good off today's mark last month. King Kenny registered a four-timer in Jersey last summer but will find this tougher, though Mazij and Pertemps Network are perfectly capable of scoring in this company if back to their best. However, ZENNOR gets the vote in a tricky race as she's fit from hurdling and a repeat of September's third at Chester behind the smart Debussy would make her the one to beat in this.
