      Verdict

      Zee Zee Top would not have to be anything out of the ordinary to score at the first time of asking and makes plenty of appeal on paper. The daughter of Zafonic is out of an Irish Oaks heroine and is also a half-sister to Opera House and Kayf Tara so gets the TEAMtalk vote in the hope that she has inherited a little of her family's ability. Munqith was highly regarded by his connections earlier in the year and ran promisingly when third behind Studio Time in maiden company at Newmarket's Craven meeting. Ed Dunlop's colt won't mind the forecast firm ground but has been off the track since disappointing in a similar event at Kempton in May and now has something to prove. The remainder are hard to fancy having shown little of note.
