MAZAGRAN looks a very shrewd purchase from Dubai judged on his taking opening win for this yard at Limerick 3 weeks ago. With the prospect of more to come, he is awarded the vote in what is an ultra-competitive handicap. Blue For You won a maiden at this meeting last year and commands serious respect, along with Horoscope and Tauran Shaman.
