In depth
Verdict
Winning form is in short supply but KANZINO won easily when dropped into a seller at Ripon and this doesn’t look much tougher. Super Stars placed at Brighton though A La Francaise’s third in better company at Southwell looks stronger form and the latter is also preferred to Sylvia Beach. Salve Japan makes more appeal than Monroe Gold of those handicapping for the first time.
