Verdict
Nothing stands out here and only a tentative vote goes to Lady Zanzara, with Dangermouse, Wig Wam Bam and Goodtime Girl others worth a mention at least. Lady Zanzara can only improve on her debut effort at Windsor in which she finished a promising fifth to Oceans Apart despite running green. The daughter of Lions Cavern is related to some smart performers in America and is taken to leave that initial effort well behind. Dangermouse has had two outings so far and is dropped in trip after fading behind Dixie Belle at Redcar. She may be placed under Kevin Darley, while Wig Wam Bam should have learnt a bit from her Beverley introduction. Tim Easterby always places his youngsters well, and it would be no surprise if Goodtime Girl took a hand first time as she is related to four winners no less. There is not a great deal to go on though and so just a small wager on Lady Zanzara is recommended.
