Verdict
Ronsai gets the vote over Blue Zenith and Heaven in the opening race on the card. Hopefully Ronsai will be spot on here after finishing lame on her last visit to Bath a month ago. Prior to that, Richard Hannon's filly had shown progressive form at Folkestone and Windsor, so hopes are high that she can make experience count and open her account. Blue Zenith looks the main danger as she has run well twice here already, including when second to the more fancied Hobson three weeks ago. She should lose her maiden tag soon, and so should Heaven who belied her big price when third to Good Gorsoon over six-furlongs here last time. Structura was the most expensive purchase, so has to carry most weight and is hard to fancy on form, with preference for Ronsai.
