War Leader, beaten a short-head in a Listowel maiden, didn't run as well when attempting to make all over 6f at Naas next time and makes his handicap debut. Not Now Zeb makes a quick reappearance after well beaten in a Navan handicap on Wednesday but this is a drop in class and he's best judged on his nursery victory at Naas when Tinkerbells Effect was 2l behind. The latter's yard is also represented by the unexposed LIQUOR SCHOLAR, who makes his handicap debut and showed enough on his first start on this track last month to merit the vote. Lady Maura did a bit better over the minimum here three weeks ago and should be suited by the extra furlong.
