Verdict
ZOAR sets a good standard after finishing second in an 18-runner contest over course and distance last month. The winner gave that form a major boost when landing the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood on his next start and the third was Listed-placed at the Curragh last weekend. The No Nay Never colt changed hands after that promising debut and is now in the care of Donnacha O'Brien. Roeillaun showed marked improvement when second at the Curragh and gets plenty of weight from the selection. A half-sister to several winners, Miss Cashman Hooke is one of the more interesting debutants.
