In depth

Verdict

Lightning Boltz has been looking a certain future winner all season having mainly run well before finding heavy ground against him at Gowran last week. Takeko has been racing in quite strong company but a wide draw does no favours while Anna Strada has also been running in decent maidens and has to be on the shortlist. Zoom Call had shown enough on Turf to be entered in Listed company here but finished last, though this is more her grade. COINS CROSS made a very promising debut over 5f at Naas and can improve enough to overtake some exposed rivals as Aikido stayed on over 7f at Leopardstown so this looks a bit short. Rock The Barzah caught the eye at Fairyhouse and looks a threat.
