A 30-runner handicap to end the day and plenty with chances including Zippy, a winner over 6f in the UK but racing over longer trips since moving to Jonny Levins. Zeeyalater gained his first victory on his 15th start at Leopardstown and is only 3lb higher so has to be on the short-list, though this can go to SHORE STEP. Johnny Murtagh's charge hasn't won for a very long time but has gradually been coming down to an acceptable mark and gets into this handicap by virtue of a 1lb lower mark for finishing a good third at Naas. With the promising Denis Linehan reducing his weight by 5lb, he's taken to gain his first victory in Ireland. Brave Display was in very good form earlier in the campaign and is another slipping down the ratings while Doonard Prince and Lake George are others to consider in a wide-open contest.
