After being a beaten favourite three times over 1m2f, ZEYRAN was dropped back to this trip at Yarmouth and duly got off the mark. She's a well-bred filly and may well have more to come so can end the winning run of Ribbons, even though James Fanshawe's filly has only been raised 4lb for landing a Goodwood handicap last month. Snow Rose is a full sister to the top-class Raven's Pass so should have plenty more to offer after getting off the mark at Goodwood in the autumn and the second has franked that form since. It's My Time was well ridden to take a Chester handicap last time but this looks a lot tougher and Keep The Secret would have to improve again for the switch to Turf.
