100/1
A nine-year-old gelding with just five appearances on the racetrack, he was swatted aside in first two Flat runs in October, most recently over 1m1f at Gowran Park on heavy ground. Doesn't make great appeal on return.

11/4
Authorized colt showed some improvement over 1m4f at Tipperary last month on heavy ground on second start, drops in distance again and needs another bit of progress.

9/10
Just worn down in a 1m4f maiden at the Curragh on second start in June, hasn't been spotted since but returns to action with yard in fine form and seemingly holding decent claims over shorter trip.

11/4
Went close on debut a year ago at the Curragh over 1m2f, didn't run again until beaten odds-on favourite over a mile on AW at Dundalk last month. This trip should be more to his liking for powerful trainer / jockey / owner combination.

33/1
Was sent off 66/1 for 1m4f maiden at Tipperary last month on just second start and return from long break, well held there and has to find significant improvement to spring a surprise in this field.

Forecasts

Sandstorming (9/10), Zabalan (11/4), Constancio (11/4), Courtois (12/1), Lara's Theme (33/1), Bye Awhile (100/1)

Verdict

Zabalan perhaps found the mile was a bit sharper than desired at Dundalk last month on his return to action, letting favourite backers down as he did. He remains open to doing much better and will in all likelihood find this trip much more suitable. He faces an equally promising rival in the returning SANDSTORMING however. He ran a fine race over a longer trip at the Curragh when last spotted and can go one better on his third racecourse outing. The others face a tough task with newcomer Courtois perhaps next best ahead of Constancio.
