This is a poor contest and Catching Zeds must have every chance of going one better than at Worcester off a 2lb higher mark. She has won twice on the Polytrack since the turn of the year. But this is a drop in grade for BOW QUEST, who should also benefit from the shorter trip having failed to last home over 2m4f at Fakenham. She gets the nod as Playhara continues to let down supporters and Fair Breeze's form over timber hasn't matched her efforts on the Flat so far.
