      Verdict

      Ice Station Zebra made a winning start at Windsor last week and will likely improve. But she’ll need to given she beat VITARE by only a head on that occasion and the latter re-opposes on much better terms today with an apprentice’s 7lb allowance further helping his cause. What Is Life showed some promise at Nottingham on last year’s debut but that was over a year ago now while Raadea and Refuge have yet to threaten.
