Irish raider EBEN ZAABEEL has seemingly benefited from the application of a tongue strap in recent starts, travelling best from some way out when making his second hurdles start a winning one at Downpatrick 33 days ago. He does need to brush up on his jumping but can do better still if doing so and earns the vote to follow up under Sean Bowen. Down To Business back down in trip rates next best. Anniversary and Aquaman are hurdles newcomers to note.
