Zenia all set for Valley four-timer after her rapid latest C&D win

ZENIA clocked the third fastest 460m time of the year at Valley when completing a hat-trick recently and has to be fancied to go in again in the 1.12 over the same trip.

Only Face The Storm, twice en route to his brilliant Welsh Derby victory, has bettered the selection's 27.99sec this campaign with Shaun Gresham's bitch at her absolute peak following midsummer seasonal rest.

She faces another prolific winner in Droopys Nijinsky but should comfortably have the legs of him early and can quickly settle the issue.

Donna Davy's Seeking Times can also make it four in a row by landing the other non-maiden open at the Welsh track, a 260m contest at 1.29.

At Doncaster's early meeting, Jimmy Gaskin's Gotacrushonyou can go one better than the Welsh duo by registering her fifth straight victory when she returns to graded company for an A1 over 483m at 11.38 after back-to-back open wins.

The afternoon action comes from Lifford where the syndicate-owned Droopys Litefoot looks good in an A5 contest at 3.22 with other picks being Peter Thompson's Woodbrook Monty (2.44), David Park's Hawkfield Fury (3.41) and the syndicate-owned Puckane Novel (5.46).

Sean O'Hanlon's Boscoes Belter (8.34) is the standout at Clonmel tonight having opened her account last time.

Syndicate-owned Aces Young (7.04), Derek Kehoe's Slaneyside Bosco (7.42) and Damien O'Regan's Glenbervie Jess (8.52) also have strong claims.
