Zeus Power
ZEUS POWER proved himself useful when showing a good attitude to score at Navan and can make a successful step up to listed class. Lazare de Star didn't do much wrong behind the selection there and looks the best long-term prospect, while Champion Bumper runner-up Heads Up remains open to improvement after pulling too hard at Cheltenham 3 weeks ago.
