Verdict
Zinat initiated a double on this track in September last year and hasn't had much racing subsequently. Fassbender had been running well before getting off the mark at the 23rd time of asking at Downpatrick but only got as far as the first at Thurles. Secret Sea gained a surprise-but-comfortable victory at Limerick though an 8lb rise makes this tougher while it's about time Sefton Warrior was winning over hurdles which he very nearly did at Fairyhouse. HARVEY'S QUAY (NAP) didn't show much in maidens in the spring but made a fair handicap debut here in October and should have more to offer so gets the nod. Vee Dancer showed his first sign of form at Down Royal and is one to note in the market.
