ZEST OF ZAMBIA was finishing best of all when just beaten by Air Of York in a bunch finish at Bath two runs ago. He’s 3lb better off today with the winner and met trouble in-running next time at Wolverhampton. Mrs Benson is now 0-23 but Plansina has four career victories to her name, though she’s not pulled up any trees so far this year. None of the others have done enough recently to suggest they are about to hit winning form again.
