Mzoon attracted market support on her debut at Haydock and shaped with plenty of promise. She’s almost certain to improve for that experience and looks a threat to BUFFER ZONE. Roger Charlton’s colt gets the nod, however, as he had no luck at Newbury last month having finished a close-up fourth on his debut at Salisbury. Villa Savina was sent to the Curragh for a valuable sales race after winning at Windsor but she was beaten before halfway and finished tailed off. The penalty she has to carry here will make life tough.
