7/2

Showed improved form to get off the mark in 14-runner handicap (6/1) at Limerick (7f, good) 28 days ago. Scored readily there, so 8 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Forecasts

Zaraahmando (7/2), Verhoyen (4/1), Port Louis (11/2), Senna's Girl (6/1), Dynamic Force (7/1), Ohmali (8/1), Clonmacash (11/1), Darkdeserthighway (20/1), I'm Spartacus (20/1), Venetian (25/1), Bella Mistiko (25/1), Una Matata (28/1), Masked Angel (28/1), Pinball Wizard (40/1), Expert Analysis (40/1), Never Not Lucky (50/1), No Knee Never (80/1)

ZARAAHMANDO got off the mark in ready fashion at Limerick 4 weeks ago and is the percentage call to follow up from an 8 lb higher mark. I'm Spartacus is entitled to strip fitter for a considerate return at Leopardstown the previous month and needs considering, along with Port Louis, who shaped as if back in form in first-time cheekpieces at the Curragh recently.
