None of these inspire confidence but ZAMBEZI QUEEN gets another chance. She was beaten fair and square when third at Bath last time having been raised 12lb for an earlier course and distance win but remains unexposed. Peachey Carnehan has had plenty of chances already but has yet to win on Turf in nine attempts while Bellevarde went close in soft ground at Haydock but never figured when sent off favourite on her latest start. Malcolm The Pug has placed in maiden company but struggled on his handicap debut last time.
