Leahman and Sacchoandvanzetti are penalised for recent victories and the former, an easy winner at Gowran, didn't appear to enjoy soft ground at Down Royal last time. The latter won well at Galway and the experience will stand him in good stead though Harvest Bow was even more impressive at Ballinrobe. However, Noel Meade's filly was beaten 12l on heavy ground on the Flat at Gowran last time by PASLEY, who could be a smart recruit to hurdles as he was having only his fifth career start. Zarkareva makes her debut for Henry De Bromhead after making a successful racecourse debut over timber in France and will enjoy the conditions.
