Verdict
Zingari won in the style of an improving filly at Yarmouth, beating Morning After, who herself beat Caught In The Dark at Bath. The latter then went on to be a wide margin winner of a maiden event at Warwick and although Zingari has a penalty to shoulder here, the Handicapper will surely give her quite a rise in future events. Kismet Queen has shown she has a little race in her, but she shouldn't trouble Sir Mark Prescott's filly on these terms, while Lady Pan Jammer may do better now she is fitted with a visor for the first time.
