Verdict
None of these make much appeal but ZIG ZAG GIRL finished runner-up at Windsor on her debut and should figure if back to that form after disappointing subsequently. Eid Rose was third to Baltic Beau, due to run in the previous race, over 5f at Redcar last time but Springforth was a well-beaten third at Pontefract and also steps up in trip. Areyoutheway never figured at Brighton and Lavender Skye has shown little so far.
