Zebby Sizz is hard to fancy on the evidence so far but the remainder all have claims of some sort. Little Nosegay is on an upward curve and had Love Oasis well behind when getting off the mark at Bath - Gary Mahon's claim takes care of most of the 6lb weight rise. A visor replaces cheekpieces on Speed Freak and the Lingfield third won't be far away if it has the desired effect but STOP THE WAGES appears to have found her best trip judged on her second at Nottingham and can go one better today ahead of the more exposed Zebspear.
