Zephyr has run well in both starts since returning from a break. Craig Star has been placed in his last three but could probably do with dropping a few pounds. Supreme Steel won at Thurles in March but is having his first start for Richard Newland and Royale Django remains resolutely out of sorts. TERRY THE FISH has improved for the switch to handicaps and got off the mark over course and distance last month. He’s been raised 8lb but there may be more to come and this is probably a shade too far for Get Home Now.
