Several have been thereabouts on the all-weather without winning. That includes Wolverhampton third Cool Spirit while Sheila's Legacy placed at Southwell a fortnight ago. Nacho recorded his only win so far when scoring on Tapeta last month while Newgate Angel’s victory here last year is her only success in 29 outings. But ZOOM STAR is less exposed and gets a token vote on her recent efforts on Turf including a second at Nottingham earlier in the month.
