2/9
Beat the well fancied and subsequent winner the Godolphin-owned Port Lions here over 7f when last seen in December on debut. Shapes like the colt would appreciate the step up in trip.

7/2
Finished second of 11 behind Port Lions over C&D earlier this month. Initial rating of 80 looks high enough and may have to settle for a place again.

Improved for the step up to a mile last time out over C&D when finishing second of nine 2L behind Tagle earlier this month. May struggle in this company.

Not much to shout about in four career starts including two here well beaten but not disgraced on both occasions. Looks a tough ask here.

20/1
Failed to build on a promising debut here in January when finishing third of 14 beaten 7L denied second close home over C&D last month. Plenty to prove in this company.

Forecasts

Zihba (2/9), Irish Minister (7/2), Jazz Lady (20/1), Lucky Red (20/1), Charmed Pearl (40/1)

Verdict

There is no getting away from how impressive ZIHBA was on debut when taking the scalp of future winner Port Lions here before Christmas. Any repeat of that run should have the colt in the winners enclosure once more. Irish Minister will be all the more interesting when competing in handicaps in future can follow the selection home.
