Verdict
ZEZENIA (NAP) won on soft going at Haydock after finishing third on a faster surface at Newmarket. She has also placed on the all-weather so all conditions seem to come alike to Roger Varian’s unexposed filly. Oti Ma Boati won her first three starts last year for Richard Fahey but didn’t recapture that form for current connections and has an absence to overcome. Festival Day would need to rediscover her best form to figure but shouldn’t be written off while Sheila almost certainly has more to offer.
