Zamolodchikov's famous analysis of the RG trajectory connecting successive minimal CFT models $M_p$ and $M_{p-1}$ for $p\gg 1$, is improved by including second order in coupling constant corrections. This allows to compute IR quantities with next to leading order accuracy of the $1/p$ expansion. We compute in particular, the beta function and the anomalous dimensions for certain classes of fields. As a result we are able to identify with a greater accuracy the IR limit of these fields with certain linear combination of the IR theory $M_{p-1}$. We discuss the relation of these results with Gaotto's recent RG domain wall proposal.
