Bo Zenith makes it 7 out of 8 for Top 40

In the Autumn, it was hoped Bo Zenith would win the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Unfortunately, that won't be the case but Gary Moore's ex-French gelding is a winner during Festival week having taken the juvenile hurdle at Stratford on Monday. The Zarak gelding, who won at Auteuil last spring, had proved disappointing on his UK debut at Sandown in January but has improved since. A comfortable winner at Haydock last month, he made all here and pulled away in the homestraight to register a fifteen lengths win. Time will tell how good he proves to be but Bo Zenith looks a stayer who will want at least two and a half miles next season. If he goes to Aintree next month, it would be tempting to take on the older novices over two and a half miles and receive an age allowance. He is another winner for the Top 40 Prospects who have enjoyed a purple patch with 7 winners from their last 8 runners.
