Verdict
ZAZA ZEST won a similar contest over track and trip by four lengths last time and can go in again on these terms. Top weight Rufford is next best on ratings and won a claimer at Windsor a week ago but has to give a lot of weight to the selection and Caltra Colleen looks a bigger threat on her earlier second in a handicap at the track. Je T'aime Encore won a plating race at Chepstow back in August but it's hard to make a decent case for any of the remainder.
