Thunder Zone has a shout on his second at Galway and Very Intense finished closer at over 1m2f here last time, though Kevin Manning sticks with stablemate and Wexford runner-up Croi Na Feile. Kadayma also has claims after a fifth at the Curragh and is preferred to stable companion and newcomer Sir Isaac. But another couple of newcomers are of more interest namely the Ballydoyle colt Dynamo and the Dermot Weld-trained ENZANI. The latter's dam is a half-sister to a couple of Ascot Gold Cup winners and he gets a speculative vote to make a winning start over a trip that should suit.
