Formscan - Both Zanza and PAINT THE DREAM save their very best for Newbury with the pair both unbeaten here over fences. The former arrives having posted a career-best performance when landing the Denman over 3m, but preference goes to the latter. The nine-year-old turned this contest into a procession 12 months ago and did something very similar over C&D in November. He wasn't disgraced when attempting to give Pic D'Orhy a race in the Silviniaco Conti at Kempton in January and the return to this track may yield another top-class display. Sebastopol is talented on his day and is respected on his first outing since landing a Grade 2 novice event here in November.
