Formscan - ZESTFUL HOPE posted a much improved effort in first-time cheekpieces when touched off by an upwardly mobile rival at Uttoxeter and, with the headgear retained, a 3lb higher mark might not prevent the seven-year-old from going one place better. Chosen Templar has won over hurdles when fresh before and is a notable contender on his debut over the larger obstacles. Ask Brewster needs to bounce back from a lacklustre effort here, but still rates a key player in this company.
