| Old Father Zieten - seen
at the sales and part of the sum up read "..small, neat, ready, early type.
Lacking scope. Rod Millman in looking [who won this race with a similar
set up in Beckenham's Secret in 2005]". Given those comments it got something
right because here he is in the third race of the year. Probably an OR60s
rater.
Trainer has made a very good impression in his first
two year's with limited numbers. FTO winners in early season haven't figured
though. He had a go at it in his first season in 2006 with a couple of
poor ones who didn't go well. Last year he didn't bother and had his first
runner in June. This one a better type to some extent than those 2006 reps
so might compete a bit more strongly but a 4th-6th range showing promise
for a minor win perhaps more likely.

| Tom Dascombe entered Old Father Zeiten for
the Brocklesby and declared him for the third race of the season at Kempton
although he was a non-runner. On profile he should be at least up to the
level of that trainer's other runner this year with Firth Of Forth which
would make him a minor winner at least. However, that runner wasn't competent
enough to win a weak race FTO so this one is more one to assess.

| The second picture shows the colt Old Father Zieten
who is a different physical type to the filly. He's smaller and more compact
and lacking her quality and also some range in movement. On the positive
side he's neatly made and in proportion (typical of a Tom Dascombe purchase)
and a usable 2yo. He was too daft at Brighton to show his real ability
but kept on well late on. He's another who should show up well here but
his lack of size and quality means that the bigger ones in the field should
have a bit too much quality for him.
