Verdict

The four-year-old Zig Zag hasn't progressed as expected after a fine start over hurdles though he hasn't been suited by winter ground and can do better back on a more suitable surface. War Of The Pennys won over three miles here in September and was staying on strongly over 2m4f at Tipperary last month so has to be on the shortlist. You Can't Catch Me was back in fourth in that former event though had every chance at this trip and arrives on the back of a shock victory on the Flat here a fortnight ago. Dual Flat winner Jefferson Davis landed a novices' handicap at Wexford in March and went up 8lb which appeared to anchor him at Kilbeggan and he tackles this trip for the first time. Macs Legend has found three miles beyond him in his last two starts but LITTLE HAARTH is now on a lower mark than when successful over slightly further at Ballinrobe last summer and is taken to return to winning ways.
