Verdict
Lady Zephyr can beat the other penalised runner Shining Lights, with newcomer Pennys Forever one to note on her debut. Lady Zephyr stepped up on her introduction when scoring by a distance at Fakenham recently. It is debatable whether she beat anything of note, but she has the experience. Shining Lights created a big impression when hacking up at Gowran Park three weeks ago, having won a point-to-point earlier. David Johnson's moles alerted him and she now has a bright future with Martin Pipe. There should be little between the two principals and they should dominate proceedings. Of the rest, Pennys Forever is interesting as she hails from a yard that does well in this sphere. Her time will come but in what looks a toss-up, Lady Zephyr gets the vote.
