ZIG ZAG has twice finished close up behind stable companion Lord Justice recently, as had Masonbrook Lady, and the latter finished in front of the selection at Gowran last time when attempting to make all. However, a last-flight error cost Joseph O'Brien's charge momentum and he's taken to reverse that running and gain his first success. Champagne Pat split the pair earlier at Bellewstown and there's very little between the trio this time. Father Mattie made a very encouraging start over timber when runner-up at Tipperary and though not performing up to that standard at Listowel may have been unsuited by the softer conditions. Gibson Park hinted at ability on the Flat despite not winning in 13 starts while Zanjabeel is expected to do better in time.
