Verdict
MIGHTY ZIP (NAP) took advantage of a slide down the weights to land an apprentices’ handicap over 5f at Chelmsford last week. A winner without a penalty and a course and distance winner, he looks capable of going in again. Last year’s winner Multi Quest beat Krazy Paving at Kempton in January and the latter went on to score at Lingfield though has been beaten subsequently. Home Again was beaten only a nose over 7f at Chelmsford a fortnight ago while National Service has slipped down the weights and was placed in a Class 7 sprint last week.
