Zyon managed just one run over hurdles last season, finishing third over course and distance more than 12 months ago. He may lack the sharpness of BEYOND THE PALE, who carries a penalty but had his defeat of Fifty Ball at Fontwell franked when the runner-up justified strong support in an Ascot handicap next time. Cap St Vincent has won four times over fences but is 0-5 over timber and this may be a pipe-opener. Getmegold makes his debut under Rules having twice been a beaten favourite in maiden points.
