Opening Time had shown little or nothing for the Hannon yard until producing a much-improved performance at Salisbury just four days ago. Not only is his quick reappearance of interest but also the fact that he now drops to the shortest trip he's contested in his six-race career. He may well prove to be extremely well treated if the move to sprinting is what's required but ZAMBEZI QUEEN is another open to progress after just four starts and she really impressed with the manner of her success on handicap debut when demolishing a field of Class 6 sprinters. Naturally she's been hit hard by the assessor to the tune of 12lb but it would come as no surprise to see her go in again. Black Bubba is starting to look exposed and Pastfact and Tooty Fruitti make more appeal as shortlist contenders.
