Verdict

WESTERN ZARA was still travelling with purpose when falling over fences at Punchestown a fortnight ago and hopes are high that she can cash in on this much lower hurdles mark. Themainintheboots also makes plenty of appeal from a handicapping perspective, with Tranquil Sea completing the shortlist.
