Verdict
Philip Hobbs must be tearing his hair out trying to get a race out of ZAKATAL but there appear to be few in this capable of getting the five-year-old off the bridle and the gelding, a decent second over 2m on the Flat at Newbury on his latest outing, can finally get off the mark over hurdles here. Market support for Paul Nicholls' ex-pointer Deireadh Re would be significant while Chapel House, Enter Milan, Martle King and Misstree Pitcher all bring winning form from between the flags into the race, the latter also showing promise on her debut under Rules over C&D four weeks ago. Before The War has shown some ability but tries a new trip today.
