This is more competitive than the previous division with PROFESSOR GALANT getting a speculative vote having slid down the handicap and finishing runner-up at Wolverhampton in first-time blinkers. Shyjack went close over a longer trip here a week ago while Eastern Star and Rinty Maginty filled the places at Chelmsford last month when ahead of Ruby Lily and the latter has since placed in novice company. Zero Hour makes her handicap debut and could go well.
