Zarathos
It may have taken him eighteen attempts to get off the mark, but ZARATHOS couldn't have been much more impressive at Windsor last week. Wisely turned out under a penalty given the margins involved, Dylan Cunha's 4-y-o gets the nod to follow up. Consistency hasn't always been Highland Olly's strong suit, but he's feared most arriving on a hat-trick. Mereside Diva, Quest For Fun and Ormolulu are just a handful of others to consider, too.

Took a big step forward as he belatedly opened his account in 11-runner event at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 8 days ago, benefiting from the return to front-running tactics. Wisely turned out under a 5-lb penalty and could take some pegging back if getting to the front.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor1m 31yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat1/11Wetherby1mGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/12Doncaster7f 6yGood to SoftFlat12/15Chester7f 1yGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat2/7Windsor6f 12ySoftFlat7/9- 12(8)Quest For FunJ: David AllanT: Tim Easterby2620-95Age 813/26/111/2

C&D winner last summer who backed that up with plenty of creditable efforts. Showed plenty on his Doncaster reappearance (going well when denied a clear run final 1f) but could only match that when fifth of 13 at Thirsk (7f) last time.

Bounced back to his best with his reappearance under his belt when winning 11-runner handicap at Newcastle (7f) 7 weeks ago, benefiting from the step back up in trip.

Better than ever last year, recording back-to-back wins at Chester and Pontefract in June. Backed up that improvement shown in a couple of starts the following month but hasn't been seen since.
