Zambezi Queen was an impressive winner on her handicap debut but has gone up nearly a stone in the weights for that success, so IRON LADY may be a better option. She improved markedly in her second run of the season when staying on well to take a similar race and with more to come, can follow up here. Tooty Fruitti encountered traffic problems over course and distance when last seen so could improve on that showing but Lightoller is thoroughly exposed and Met By Moonlight has yet to show much ability.
Zambezi Queen (IRE) 8-1 (9-2) Chased leaders, led over 1f out, clear inside final furlong, ran on well, easily, won at Chepstow 6f hcp (6) gf in May beating Lightoller (9-9) by 5l, 13 ran.
