Formscan - ZEALOT has improved again since stepping up to 1m2f, with a brace of wins at Newcastle since January, and Mick Appleby's charge looks capable of shrugging off a further 6lb rise. Diderot has posted creditable efforts in defeat at Southwell and Lingfield and is an obvious contender. He will need to settle better now returned to this trip so a bigger threat may emerge from Gloucestershire, who has been given a break since finishing fourth at Kempton in November.
