Verdict

Having been just denied in a stronger race at the Curragh last month, ZENFORD can go one better. A consistent gelding who has reached the frame on all four starts to date, the son of Beckford hasn't been unduly punished with a 3lb rise for that latest effort. With stable jockey Ben Coen back in the saddle, the Johnny Murtagh-trained representative looks the one to beat. A winner at Fairyhouse last time, the Jessica Harrington-trained Fortuity should again hold leading claims. Up just 4lb for that victory, the Dark Angel filly can effectively race off 1lb lower here if taking her rider's claim into account. Handicap debutant Watch Tower is also open to improvement on his return to action.

Top Tip: Zenford (3)
Watch out for: Fortuity (8)

FORTUITY showed a likeable attitude when getting off the mark at Fairyhouse by half a length last time and, while a 4lb rise asks a little more of him, he remains lightly raced and open to further improvement. Zenford had been consistent in maidens without getting his head in front and made an encouraging start to life in handicaps when only narrowly denied at The Curragh, so looks a major threat if building on that effort. Watch Tower is another who has been running consistently well in maidens thus far and should be competitive again on his handicap debut and seasonal reappearance.
