ZEFFERINO may prove good enough having finished fourth in a conditions race at Sandown last time. But Cliffs Of Capri is also worthy of consideration on his debut second at Chelmsford and Archer's Arrow has found only one too good in both starts to date. Godolphin also run the returning Never A Word and it will be no surprise if Enhancement finishes closer today. Althib is the first foal of an Irish Oaks winner and worth noting of the newcomers along with the half-brother to a Group 1 winner, Aussie Rules.
