Winning bumper Zama Zama made a promising hurdling debut at Kempton before easily landing the odds in a maiden over the C&D. He started a short-priced favourite to follow-up in softer ground at Taunton but disappointed and has to concede weight all round here. TARN HOWS, another winning bumper, has run three times over Uttoxeter's stiff track recently and though he's looked vulnerable to pace this is more likely to turn into a slog and he can finally get off the mark. Winning point-to-pointer Merry King has been finding the minimum trip against him and this distance is likely to bring out more while Herecomesthehollow is bred to be a staying chaser so his opening run in a Haydock bumper should be a pointer for a better future.
