Wallis has had a productive season, sending out 7 winners from his Essex base, which suggests a yard that knows how to prepare a horse and pick the right moment. For a first-time runner, having a trainer in that kind of form is no small thing — it means Zizania Du Mazet is coming into this with a team that has been getting things right lately.
Bred by Rijm out of a Saint Faust mare, the bloodlines won't mean much to a casual observer, but the combination points to a horse built for staying power over a distance. Beyond that, today is genuinely a blank page — watch the race, watch how this horse travels and responds, and you will know more in three minutes than any form guide can tell you right now.
