Unreliable sort. 10/3, good second of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, good) when last seen in June, outbattled. Should get home upped to a mile round here and, though his record stands at 0-11, he could have a big say if the first-time blinkers have the desired effect.

Forecasts

Ballymagreehan (7/4), Heart Of Darkness (11/2), Zabeir (6/1), Georg Zhukov (13/2), Kitty Bear (8/1), Sporting Aclaim (17/2), Bamako (12/1), Ferrybank (14/1), Profit Surge (14/1), Monzoon (18/1), Cezarro (20/1), Manhattan Dandy (25/1), Loaded Quiver (25/1), Java Wood (40/1), Voice Of Northeast (50/1), Plastic Paddy (66/1), Eliza Garfield (100/1)

Having returned to form whan a close third in a big-field at the Curragh last month, ZABEIR could be the answer. He gets the nod ahead of Bamako, who has found just one too good on two of his last three starts and will be a big threat if responding well to the new headgear. The fact that Manhattan Dandy remains winless following 16 runs on the all-weather is off-putting from a win point of view, but he's still a plausible each-way candidate in a race such as this.
