in touch in rear, ridden and ran on strongly inside final furlong, nearest finish
ZABBIE (NAP) landed a strong Doncaster nursery and was only beaten a length in a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket so should prove too good for these. Oscar's Sister has improved with each run and was staying on over the track and trip last time while Centre Court, a debut winner at Newmarket, found Class 2 company too hot at Goodwood in July. Reginald Charles had looked a likely future winner before well beaten in a lucrative sales race at York.
