Race preview
ZEALOT hasn't looked back since joining Mick Appleby, having won five of his seven outings, and the five-year-old arrives following a career-best display on his first attempt over C&D in January. Obsidian Knight returned to winning ways when benefiting from a drop back in trip at Lingfield and he is capable of being in the mix, despite a 4lb rise. Melek Alreeh raced too freely on his handicap bow at Kempton and better is expected on this occasion.
