      Verdict

      Zarabanda came up short at Leicester when bidding for a hat-trick and has been raised a further 3lb. Anjo Bonita drops down in trip attempting to land a treble but CLASSIC TIMES (NAP) makes more appeal. The latter returned an easy winner on soft ground at Sandown on her handicap debut and Roger Varian has an impressive strike-rate at this venue. Maiden winner Fiver Friday finished in front of Sophiesticate at Ayr last time and is also preferred to Sirona.
