Newmarket Race 3 - Betfred 'The Classic Bookmaker' Handicap
ZENNOR STORM (2) is unbeaten from two starts, including a last-start win at Kempton over 1609m by 1.5L, and looks a key chance. OBJECTOR (3) also brings a perfect record, winning both starts at Wolverhampton, the latest by a big margin over 1739m. FORT ROCK (4) is another unbeaten runner, last seen narrowly winning at Kempton over 1408m. ELAN D'OR (5) comes off back-to-back wins, most recently scoring by 2.75L at Kempton over this trip. VINCENZO PERUGGIA (1) was runner-up at Musselburgh over 1611m last start, beaten 1L. LAKE COMO (6) placed 3rd at Kempton over 1609m in a Class 2 last time out. Several progressive types here, but Zennor Storm (2), Objector (3), and Fort Rock (4) bring strong winning form and set the standard.
