Big Zeb, 11/4 or Master Minded, 7/2...
Big Zeb has only lost once in his last 5, that coming on soft ground to Golden Silver. The going will help him get his revenge on GS for that here... So will the ground help him to pull away from Master Minded enough to claim this one... Well he has a chance. His jumping is good, which its has to be round here, and he has the satmina, he is after all last years winner...
But...
Master Minded hasnt lost this term and may well be getting back to the type of form that we all know he has... Undefeated this term, and with the Nicholls yard seemingly coming to the party at the moment, im leaning towards him here... Beat Somersby last time out by a head, when any further will have been caught. But his previous run was here with an extra furlong, and he mopped up with a 8l victory...
So.... I flipped the coin and it came down on Master Minded...
