King Zeal was well beaten under a penalty at Bangor but Phoenix Flight had plenty in hand when scoring at Market Rasen in May and has been busy on the Flat since. That was his seventh start over timber, however, and it would be a surprise if he was able to give weight to less exposed rivals here. Denton is interesting as his second at Market Rasen was another step in the right direction while Saga De Tercey has decent form in bumpers and on the Flat, though returns from a long lay-off. HAYJACK's second to Jump City at Exeter was a solid first effort over timber and Charlie Longsdon's charge is fancied to go one better here, though Huntingdon third Quanah Parker and newcomer Capellini are also ones to note in the betting.
