If there is a race of the day (questionable) then it could be the 2.50pm at Leicester when we get another chance to see Simon and Ed Crisford’s impressive Newmarket winner Zanthos.
A daughter of Sioux Nation out of a Pivotal mare, she cost a whopping 1,000,000 Euros at the Arqana breeze-up sales in May, but she was too lively at home and didn’t make her debut on the track until last month when she won by three lengths with plenty up her sleeve to call upon if necessary.
She was expected to step up to Group company immediately with the Solario Stakes pencilled in as her next assignment, but patience is a virtue and they send her to this novice instead.
She will have to be as good as they think she is to hold off the Owen Burrows trained Touleen who was almost as impressive when winning on her only start at Newbury.
