Having a first run since wind surgery, California Soul did a little better at Uttoxeter. Chosen Flame placed yet again over 2m4f here last month but, like Gemologist, is still seeking a first victory over timber. Old Jewry was last seen over fences in February while there have been few signs that Set In Stone has taken to jumping. ZABEEL STAR was slowly away on the Flat at Musselburgh 12 days ago having won earlier at Beverley. He was keeping better company over timber at the start of the year and should be up to landing this.
