Verdict

Selection was only third off this mark at Ascot after making a winning reappearance at Kempton. He was well beaten when trying this longer trip at Newcastle in October but may stay further this year and is still unexposed. INTERCONNECTION is 5lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago but returns following a similar preparation and may be the one to beat again. Mr Red Clubs does most of his winning in lower grades and has never scored on Turf while Sky Cape may need more times following a lay-off but Zzoro will enjoy the ground and shouldn’t be far away.
