In depth
Verdict
ZAMJAR didn't get the best of runs on his debut at Lingfield and was then just touched off right on the line in what looked a decent maiden at Wolverhampton. He can go one better though blinkers may have the desired effect on Await The Storm, who showed good pace for a long way at Leicester. Bear Essentials looked in need of the experience at Ayr where the ground was plenty fast enough while Mark Johnston's newcomer White Tower has a very smart pedigree and is definitely one to keep an eye on.
