1st Zarkander 5/1 - 85
2nd No Hassle Hoff 14/1 - 75
3rd Agrapart 4/6 - 60

Zarkander won this last year, but he was a bit disappointing on his return from a break last time out. I wonder if its because he is 11 now and maybe needed the run, but still it was a bit disappointing. However one thing which is noticable is that Zarkanders best form comes in small fields of under 8. His stats in fields under 8 is F, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, UR, 5, 1. Its tough because like Cue Card, based on old form this horse will take the beating. His stats on heavy are 1, 1, 2, PU. The PU was his last race after 231 days off.

Agrapart has possibly the best recent form of the race with his win against Wholestone last time out. His stats on heavy are 2, 3, 1, 2, 1. He was 3rd behind Zarkander last year, but he gave 8lb to Zarkander last year, and today they are on level terms, which is a negative for Zarkander. It wont take much for Agrapart to win.

No Hassle Hoff has beaten Zarkander twice, but last time Zarkander PU after a break so can you count that? His win at Uttoxeter was against much weaker opposition thant Agrapart, and he will have to pull something out the bag here.

I will as always stick with the system, i think Agrapart if in the same form will be hard to beat. However Maybe a RFC a £2 bet would return min of £4.20 to £8.80

My Selection: Zarkander 5/1 (RFC with Agrapart)
