ZAMROUDPOUR was never nearer on his debut over a mile at Dundalk in December but will know more today. Dermot Weld tries the Stormy Atlantic colt in blinkers and, if they have the desired effect, he’ll be hard to beat. Tullyallen is a lot more exposed but was third on Polytrack last month and should place again if lasting home. Fiannaiocht may be capable of better while Stoic Soul will have learned plenty from his second at Navan and the extra quarter-mile should benefit.
