Zarzal has returned to action with a bang after an absence and could go close to completing his hat-trick with his amateur's 7lb claim proving very useful. Baths Well is also expected to get involved as he's open to progress after just half a dozen hurdling starts and was a good second for the yard's 10lb conditional last time who keeps the ride here. However, it looks as if Charlie Longsdon has found the key to the ex-Bolger trained SUKIYAKI, who clearly relished the step-up in trip last time when making almost all to land a resounding first success over timber. He's back to 2m4f admittedly now but hopefully forcing tactics will be employed once again and he can defy a rather harsh 13lb rise in the weights. The Game Is A Foot, Anton Dolin and especially the unexposed Multimedia are all noted, with a market check strongly advised for the latter who remains very much unexposed for the Pipe team.
