In depth
Verdict
None of these exactly set the pulse racing on either racecourse form or breeding but ZUBAIDAH should improve for her debut sixth at Newbury and could make a bold bid. Arethusa is another to consider on her second at Kempton, though she was still beaten four lengths, while Multi Grain steps up in trip after a modest debut at Pontefract. Snow Cover, Colours Of Glory and Jellwa are newcomers to note for any support in the betting.
