Verdict
Everything Zain is the form pick on his narrow defeat by Seismic over this trip at Tramore but he's since run poorly over hurdles on fast ground and hasn't proved himself in these conditions. But, if the rains arrive, he'll take all the beating. Boxer Beat's only victory in 57 career starts came on quick ground over fences at Killarney a year ago but BYRON BEAUTY has been lightly raced and has shown her best form in fast conditions. She's never raced over tonight's trip but was staying on strongly over 1m4f at Fairyhouse last time so she's handed the vote to gain her first victory. Una Veintena will no doubt be back over timber shortly but she's on such a lowly mark that Willie Mullins could get a race out of her on the level first and Tom Madden's claim is a bonus.
