FormscanBy Michael Graham - ZENTA bounced back to winning ways with a lovely performance over a similar trip in a mares' beginners' chase at this racetrack in February. Attritional ground holds no fears for her and it is worth noting that she was a Grade 1 winner over flights, so there could be more to come from her in this sphere now that she has got her head in front. Majestic Force is a lightly-raced seven-year-old who knows how to win and appreciated a staying test at Wexford on St Patrick's Day. Her runner-up berth at Cork in December received a massive boost at Fairyhouse on Sunday when the horse that beat her took a Grade 1. La Malmason didn't feature in the Plate at the Cheltenham Festival, but has claims on her previous efforts including when third in a Listed mares' chase at Exeter.
