Verdict
A disastrous turnout for the management with neither SERAAKH nor Zinawar having showed anything on their debuts. The former is applied with blinkers after a moderate opener behind Blasket Spirit at Cork and the son of Azamour can see off his only rival, who started 50/1 when almost last behind Zarebiya at Leopardstown last week.
