5/4

6/1, won 5-runner novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 46 days ago. No surprise that this half-brother to high-class hurdler Zanahiyr is doing better in this sphere and good chance in his bid to make it 3-3.

8/1

Fairly useful hurdler. 14/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy) 20 days ago. Good third in C&D juvenile hurdle in January but work to do. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Form: 83P2-10

2/1

Fairly useful winner at 13f on Flat. Winner in hurdle at Bellewstown in April and good second at Listowel in September. Can do better in this code.

4/1

15/2, won 16-runner novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.6f, soft) 41 days ago, settling into a good rhythm behind the leading trio and picking them off one by one in the closing stages. This is a different scenario but he clearly has more to offer. Good shout.

Forecasts

Zariygann (5/4), Pinot Gris (2/1), Wonleg (4/1), Palamon (8/1)

WONLEG impressed when taking a big-field Roscommon novice 6 weeks ago, and while this small-field affair presents a different test, he could be up to it given the improvement he probably has in the works. Zariygann won't go down fighting as he bids to make it 3-3 in this sphere.
