Verdict
Good World is a dual track winner though over much shorter but Balinaboola Steel has won over the course and distance and isn't badly treated. Eat The Book was tackling the trip for the first time when gaining a surprise but comfortable victory at Kilbeggan though a 10lb rise makes this tougher. PRINCE ZALTAR was making his handicap debut when scoring over 2m4f at Tramore where the further they went the better he looked. The step-up in trip shouldn't be a problem and a 6lb rise is offset by his rider's claim. Rachael Blackmore, who rode him that day, is claimed for Centurion Steel, who was chasing last summer but reverts to hurdles on a 10lb lower mark.
