ZIPPING HOPKINS (1) finished in the money three on end before breaking through for an overdue win last start (34.33) at The Meadows. Is yet to taste defeat at this distance. Rates strongly and will go close from the inside draw. VINCENT BALE (5) was below best last time at Sale (36.98) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 8 length fourth. Has already won three times from this draw. Makes strong appeal on best. RAVEN PETER (2) was out of placings last time (35.05) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Has already won two times from this draw. Suited here and expected to run well.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.75 lengths at The Meadows over 600m (34.33) beating Hector Fawley in Mix 3/4 on December 21. That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with him.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he does have good record over this track and distance. Has a strong record from box 2, including two wins. Go close.

Missed the frame latest (36.98) when fourth over 640m at Sale in a Special conditions H. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and three places from seven starts. Looks a key chance on best form.
