Formscan  - ZOULU WARRIOR has been in fine fettle of late, with victories at Southwell and more recently over C&D. A 4lb higher mark looks workable for the four-year-old and a hat-trick may be on the cards. Brave Empire arrives on the back of a decent third at Newcastle and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of the upped-in-class Amerjeet.
