The lightly-raced ZORION (NAP) looked in need of the run on his reappearance at Leopardstown where he couldn't handle the heavy ground. He looked one to follow when easily scoring on his debut in August and should prove better than a 93-rated handicapper. Katiymann was in excellent form at Dundalk at the end of last year but is better handicapped on the all-weather while Lucky Mistake failed to land the odds at Clonmel on Thursday and may need some more rain, a remark that also applies to Warnaq who may also be a bit high in the weights. Marshall Jennings doesn't win very often but usually competes in better company and the assessor has given him a chance dropping him 5lb.
