In depth
Verdict
La Zamora proved a progressive sprinter last season but has needed at least a couple of runs before showing her best in previous years. King Of Eden scored at Doncaster on his reappearance and should confirm running with Solar Spirit, who has since finished runner-up at Redcar. The lightly-raced Ghost scored over 7f last term, but stablemate INVINCIBLE LAD makes more appeal. He finished a respectable third on his debut for Dandy Nicholls at Ripon last time, with today's rival Grissom back in fifth, and looks set to strike off his current mark.
