After a fair debut at Galway, Sun King was expected to improve enough to get off the mark at Killarney but didn't appear to appreciate the softer ground. Zoffman still looked inexperienced on testing ground over this trip at Tipperary and can improve again but ZUHRA was staying on strongly over a mile at Punchestown after missing the break and may be good enough. Sissoko ran a similar race over a mile here last month and is another certain improver while Joseph O'Brien has entered three newcomers with Uxmal, by Galileo out of a Group 3 winner, possibly the best at this stage. Olympic Flame is related to a host of winners and is greatly respected in a race that should prove informative.
