In depth
Verdict
Richard Hannon's juveniles have been in flying form and it would be no surprise if Zafine adds to the tally. The speedily bred daughter of Zafonic overcame a tardy to start to have every chance on her Haydock debut before being worn down close home and will be hard to beat with the experience behind her. Carna, runner-up on both starts to date, has shown enough to suggest she can lose her maiden certificate before too long while All The Best made her debut at Nottingham in a race that is working out well and should not be underestimated. Silca Boo, by Efisio out of smart sprinter Bunty Boo, looks best of the newcomers on pedigree and should be noted in betting exchanges.
