In depth

Verdict

CURLYLOCKS is the one with most potential here having produced decent runs in both starts last summer. It's an obvious concern that she hasn't been seen for over a year but she's definitely the form pick. Griko is another retuning from a long absence but he showed some promise at Dundalk in September and will probably be heading for the Galway Festival. Frozen Lake finished in front of Zylan over the track and trip last month and should do so again, though both look vulnerable to an improver.
