Zamaani has progressed into a very smart performer with a rating of 97. He was impressive in a Goodwood nursery last time though has to concede weight to some potentially useful rivals. MYSTERY SMILES was expected to make a winning debut at Windsor and didn't disappoint. A 165,000gns purchase, he had no problems beating those moderate rivals and can take this step-up in grade in his stride. Regional also looked smart when quickening really well at Pontefract and the 120,000gns yearling looks a top addition to Richard Fahey's team. Fools Rush In and Tom's Reign Beau both won last time but face much tougher opposition.
