Zimmerman
Should be well handicapped and has run well in defeat with cheekpieces added (joining regular tongue-tie) in last two races, behind Laravie in the penultimate one; surprising to see the blinkers back on.

From the connections
“I wasn't worried about losing it in the stewards' room as the second bumped him too. I thought he'd go well but I don't know what happened at Newcastle. Zimmerman loves soft ground and stays two miles, so we'll find something for him if it stays wet - Tim Easterby, trainer.”
“Zimmerman did very well, he loves this ground and was very hardy at the finish there. He switched off and I was happy with his position - James Sullivan, rider.”
“Zimmerman ran well on his last two runs as well and is an improving horse. He should handle a step up in trip again and is a nice staying prospect - James Sullivan, jockey.”
