ZENGA improved for the step up in distance and returned a clear winner at Wolverhampton. Further progress looks on the cards now handicapping and the Varian filly gets the vote. Cubana Habana is another making his handicap debut having won over a shorter trip at Hamilton while Postmark was beaten in handicaps before landing a novices race at Ffos Las. Royal Aviation, They Don't Know and He's A Gentleman have all been treading water off similar marks and the latter is fitted with a visor for this.
