Zamira²²

Weight: 9-6| Age: 4

T: W McCreery J: W J Lee

Forecasts

Exemplar (11/4), Glamorous Approach (4/1), Savannah Storm (9/2), Renneti (9/2), Act Of Valour (9/1), Sea Swift (12/1), Flying Fairies (14/1), Morga (28/1), Dragon Fei (33/1), Flirt (33/1), Zamira (33/1)

Zamira is the one with the early pace here and should take the field along, with Glamorous Approach and Act Of Valor in behind, while Exemplar, Savannah Storm and Flying Fairies are expected to tuck in behind those. The Aiden O'Brien-trained, EXEMPLAR, the yards only representative in the Dante at York when a disappointing eighth of 10 behind Permian, following third of six in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes behind Yucatan and subsequent Irish Derby winner, Capri, is sure to go off favourite, with Glamorous Approach and Act Of Valour giving him most to think about.
