In depth

Verdict

Little strength in depth and this should boil down to a match between Kalambari and Zaajel. The former shaped like a surefire future winner when, after running green, he stayed on from the rear to snatch fourth in a fair Windsor maiden. Sir Michael Stoute's gelding will have little difficulty in finding a race but may have to wait a little longer as Zaajel will prove hard to beat. John Dunlop's charge has finished runner-up in hot maidens on both starts to date and this highly regarded son of Nashwan can get off the mark before stepping up in grade.
