Plenty are in with a shout. COFFEEMEANSCOFFEE was set too much to do here last time and has now slipped to a handy-looking mark so is taken to capitalise. Zephron and Breezy Zoff fought out a good finish at Cork last month and both enter calculations along with in-form duo Lasting Peace and Blue Peak.
