Fri 4th Sep

Formscan  - ZIMMERMAN was an easy winner at Ripon on Tuesday and as long as this doesn't come too soon, a 4lb penalty is unlikely to be any barrier to further success for Tim Easterby's gelding. Gentle Warrior hasn't been in great form this season, but he did win the corresponding event off 2lb lower 12 months ago and merits respect. It would be unwise to rule out the unexposed Easwrith Destiny, who has shown an aptitude for soft underfoot conditions previously.
