Verdict

ZAMEK shaped with definite promise when third on his only start in bumpers for Paul Nicholls last spring and, having joined another leading stable ahead of his return/hurdles debut, he could well be worth chancing to come out on top. Coolkatie is another hurdles debutante to note for the Skelton yard, as is Kosac d'Oudairies who was a wide-margin winner of a small-field Ffos Las bumper when last seen.
