Verdict
It's difficult to get away from BLACK ZAMBEZI, who has found his form in no uncertain terms landing a beginners' event over the course and distance then following up in a handicap on a return visit. He's 9lb higher but has had a nice break and should prove better than a 125-rated chaser. Archive battled to a narrow victory over the minimum at Wexford and a bad error stopped him in his tracks next time at Killarney, though he's yet to prove he stays this far. Na Trachtalai Abu, three times a winner over hurdles, is getting closer to losing his maiden tag over fences but has shown his best form over further. A Sizing Network has had a dozen starts over fences without winning and Thomond, who is 1-22 over fences, has been beaten off lower marks.
