Zalty is definitely the form pick on his recent runs in top handicaps and he was unlucky behind Watchable here two weeks ago. However, this will be his 17th start and he's yet to race over the minimum trip. Kernoff was behind him last time but both of his victories have been over today's trip. The prolific Bubbly Bellini could do with another furlong as could Shipyard but Mr Good Guy had Kernoff a length behind at Dundalk off levels and now receives a stone taking Robbie Downey's claim into consideration. BODY BEAUTIFUL had Mr Good Guy half-a-length behind at Bellewstown in July and, with Tom Madden able to claim 7lb, looks well in especially as that was her handicap debut. She has scope to do much better and gets the nod though it would be no surprise to see a big run from Prince Connoisseur, who started favourite in that Bellewstown event and bounced back to form at Dundalk last month and is blinkered for the first time.
