ZAMBEZI MAGIC 4/1

ZAMBEZI MAGIC at 4/1, Bernard Llewellyn with Charlie Tucker taking off 7lb, is the one I want to be on here. He won by 16 lengths and was raised only 2lb for it, leaving 22lb in hand and has won here 6 times.

The dangers are CITY ESCAPE at 9/1 (a course winner) and ADRIAN at 11/2 (went close off this mark).
