    We present an update on the calculation of BΛ‰β†’Dβˆ—β„“Ξ½Λ‰\bar{B}\to D^\ast \ell \bar{\nu} semileptonic form factor at zero recoil using the Oktay-Kronfeld bottom and charm quarks on Nf=2+1+1N_f=2+1+1 flavor HISQ ensembles generated by the MILC collaboration. Preliminary results are given for two ensembles with aβ‰ˆ0.12a\approx 0.12 and 0.090.09 fm and MΟ€β‰ˆ310M_\pi\approx 310 MeV. Calculations have been done with a number of valence quark masses, and the dependence of the form factor on them is investigated on the aβ‰ˆ0.12a\approx 0.12 fm ensemble. The excited state is controlled by using multistate fits to the three-point correlators measured at 4--6 source-sink separations.Comment: 7 pages and 4 figures.
