In depth
Verdict
Dermot Weld won this last year with Unaccompanied and is double-handed this time, though Zaminast looks the stable's pick. She was having just her fourth career start when landing a Leopardstown Listed event on yielding ground in October and should prove even stronger this season. CHRYSANTHEMUM began her career with victories at Listed and Group 3 level on this track and has raced a further four times here subsequently. She made a sparkling reappearance to land the Group 3 Park Express Stakes last month and, with ground conditions perfect, can carry on the good work. Vivacious Vivienne is better on faster ground and Ask Jack ran poorly behind Famous Name on his reappearance last week.
