MASK OF ZORRO 3/1
MASK OF ZORRO at 3/1, Joe Tizzard and Brendan Powell, is the one I want to be with. He comes from a yard in good heart at 30% and has a telling booking — a rider who has won on it before returns.
He won four on the bounce over hurdles last winter, one of them on heavy ground, the yard is in form and Brendan Powell is back on board, and he goes chasing for the first time off a mark the handicapper has never tested him on over fences.
The one worry is weakened last time and long absence.
Non-runners: Fairye Forth.
