In depth

Verdict

Lezardrieux continued his good progress when making a winning return at Yarmouth. That was his third success in his last four outings but he’s penalised and raised in class today and third-placed Sur Mer re-opposes on better terms fitted with headgear for the first time. Comeatchoo has more to find with Lezardrieux but SAMPERS SEVEN looks to have every chance. The latter was beaten only a length in this grade on her recent debut for Mick Appleby’s yard and an apprentice’s allowance further helps her cause today. Zulu Zander won off a higher mark here in January but has struggled since.
