Zap looked a nice prospect when making a successful start at York and was by no means disgraced at Epsom behind De Bruyne Horse and Cardsharp. The latter is trained by Mark Johnston, who has a fine record in this and saddles the filly Izzy Blue here. She's already won three times with her only defeat coming in Listed company at York and her allowance can see her competitive again. Unfortunately easily landed a Hamilton maiden before sent to France for a Listed contest and only beaten a head so he's an obvious threat though ZAMAN may have his measure. The Godolphin colt made a successful debut in a York maiden before tackling the Coventry Stakes where he ran well for a long way before fading.
