The Noel Meade yard have landed this contest in the last two years with Red Jack and Pats Pick. ZAMBEZIR can make it a hat-trick of wins for the trainer here with the Zambezi Sun gelding not having to improve mush from his first two starts since the turn of the year to play a role in the finish. The yard's other runner Joshua Webb is worthy of consideration and a check in the betting, while the Gordon Elliott trio of Danny Archer, Fakiera and Part Time Affair demand respect.
