Assuming all is well following a 97-day break, ZIP IT UP should be able to make it two from two. Needlepoint rates as the obvious danger, trying cheekpieces and a new trip for the first time. Swift Storm can pick up the pieces in third.

Verdict
Fairly useful filly. 11/1, won 7-runner maiden at Chantilly (5.5f, good to firm), Stepped up in trip last time out (38 days ago) when finishing third of 6 in a novice event at Chelmsford City (7f, 13/8). That run came off the back of a 17-month break so could come on for that. Cheekpieces applied.

Fair gelding. 40/1, first run since leaving Paul & Oliver Cole when third of 4 in novice at Lingfield (5f, AW) in November. Failed to build on that when seventh of 12 in maiden at Southwell (5f, 28/1) 9 days ago (looked awkward under pressure). Up in trip but plenty to find with the best of these.

Verdict
Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3, fourth of 7 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) 31 days ago, slowly into stride on that occasion. Back in distance today but needs to improve significantly to trouble market principals. Engaged 6.45 Wolverhampton Saturday.
