MAZAGRAN made a big impression when scoring at Limerick on debut for Joseph O'Brien in July and, while disappointing in softer ground at the Galway festival next time, he remains with potential returned to a more suitable surface, so he's marginally preferred to Baseman, who arrives on an upward curve. The hat-trick seeking Moddy Poddle is another one to consider.
