Verdict
Zabbie did not get a clear run at Brighton all things considered and she has to be respected for the Hannon yard. Brother Sebastian was far from disgraced at Chester but AMERICAN IN PARIS was a well-backed favourite for a similar affair at Newbury and it may be folly to give up upon Hugo Palmer’s filly just yet. Breath Catcher is rated 69 having already faced the starter on five occasions while Gottaifan was a relatively early foal and connections have given him a lot of time to mature since gelding him prior to his debut.
