Razzle Dazzle Love made a very promising debut over fences at Galway but has run poorly in subsequent starts. Fort Worth Texas, smart between the flags, was returning from a long break when beaten a distance at Fairyhouse last month so may need another run. Carrigeen Lotus finished runner-up in that latter event but has been well beaten subsequently and was beaten five lengths when runner-up to Rebel Early in a heavy-ground handicap hurdle at Cork earlier. The latter pulled up over timber last time so the vote goes to chasing debutant WESTERN ZARA, who at least enters the fray in winning form having scored over timber at Fairyhouse.
