Western Zephyr made a winning debut over timber at Ludlow and was third under a penalty the same track last month. He knows where the winning post is but the concession of 6lb to INNESTON may be beyond him as the well-regarded French bumper winner clearly needed his run at Newbury. Torula seems to be improving with experience but the remainder have little to recommend them.
