ZUWAAR is taken to win again at the expense of Snowberry Hill and Amron Hill. The selection is six pounds higher in the weights since winning over course and distance recently. He has continued to improve every time he stepped up in trip and connections now realise that staying is his true forte. He has proved he handles this surface so with conditions once again in his favour he is difficult to oppose. Snowberry Hill is only two pounds higher since winning around here over three furlongs shorter. He once again has proven form over this trip although he is yet to win over it. That said he is sure to be in the shake up once again. Amron Hill won at Southwell last week and connections are keen for him to carry the six pound penalty rather than wait till the handicapper gets a chance to asses his recent win. He looks potentially well treated on his old form so any market moves should be noted. However for the winner we return to Zuwaar.
