Winning bumper Captain Zebo was always in the front rank over 2m4f at Sligo and there's every chance he'll do better over the extra. But, like Itsonlyrocknroll, he has a penalty to carry and the latter didn't run well when tackling this sort of trip at Thurles in February. First Class Ticket has had a dozen starts without winning and has never tackled a trip this far. However, he was only just caught over 2m4f at Sligo when returning from a long break and it will be a surprise if he's not involved in the finish. AMRAM was having only his third start when just failing to catch Aherlow over this trip at Cork three weeks ago so, with further progress likely, looks the one to be on though winning point-to-pointer Boston Spray would have a chance second to none on his close second to Major Destination at Cork in July.
