Verdict

MASK OF ZORRO recorded a good time when pulling clear with another progressive type at Taunton last month and this scopey sort should make a bold bid for the 4-timer. This does look competitive, though, with unexposed pair Passing Pleasure and The Two Harrys heading the dangers.

2	Has taken off since switched to handicaps and responded generously to pressure when completing hat-trick at Taunton last month.

3	Improved to readily make a winning start for this yard in Musselburgh handicap hurdle on return last month and followed up off the same mark on chase bow at Catterick the following week. New mark has kicked in but remains open to improvement over a trip he should stay. 2nd Pick 3 Passing Pleasure Jockey: Craig Nichol Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero J: Craig Nichol T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	98	-	-	-	19%	Scratched

4	Has shown ability but clearly hasn't been easy to train, all the better for belated return when second in maiden at Plumpton 53 days ago. Up in trip and remains unexposed heading into handicaps. 3rd Pick 4 The Two Harrys (Ire) Jockey: Paul O'brien Trainer: Harry Derham J: Paul O'brien T: Harry Derham	99	-	-	-	12%	Scratched
