Kempton (AW) 3:55 Result

Zighy holds the highest OR (81) in the field and her recent form figures -14323 show consistent placing with a recent win and multiple places, including a strong recent run 15 days ago. Trainer George Boughey and jockey Billy Loughnane are a sharp combo, and the addition of first-time cheek pieces (p) suggests intent to sharpen her up further - often a positive angle for a filly already progressing. Her draw of 9 is workable at Kempton's 6f, not ideal but far from a killer. Comparing to rivals: Tarot (80 OR) has been freshened but her recent form (31-766) shows fading finishes; Eskimo Pie (80 OR) won last time but stepping up in class/conditions is unproven versus this rated field; Paradise Walk has more speed figures but her finishing sequence (241140) suggests she flattered at times and is stepping back up in trip/class scrutiny. Veil Of Clouds is in-form (52531) and has claims but is lower rated and unproven to find more. Zighy's blend of the best current form curve, top rating, positive headgear change, and quality connections gives her the strongest case. She looks value in a competitive, closely-assessed handicap where the market likely underrates her rating edge and improving trajectory.
