Prince Zaltar³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 95

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Well-backed 7/2, very good third of 9 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16f, heavy) 38 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve under eye-catching jockey booking.

Form: 209P63

Holditinyourhead²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Philip Donovan⁽⁵⁾| T: E Sheehy| OR: 93

Forecasts

Prince Zaltar (9/2), Old Soul (9/2), Kells Priory (5/1), Kilbarry Chianti (13/2), Good World (17/2), Bite That (17/2), Bust Or Bray Dee (9/1), Robyndeglory (12/1), Craic Eile (18/1), Ashqar (20/1), Holditinyourhead (50/1)

PRINCE ZALTAR attracted support and produced an improved performance when third at Clonmel last month, so looks the most interesting contender with Rachael Blackmore booked for handicap debut. The lightly-raced Old Soul should also prove competitive from his mark, whilst Kells Priory is enjoying a good spell.
