Verdict
JAZZ GIRL is a credit to connections and gained her fifth victory in just 12 outings at Killarney during the week. She's penalised 4lb and has a big weight to carry but this looks a good opportunity for a quick follow-up. The Fox Tully suffered in the weights after completing a double last month and looks in the handicapper's grip while Zariyna disappointed at Down Royal after previously looking progressive. Sailors Warn has progressed into a very promising hurdler who competed at a high level during the winter. He didn't show on his return to the Flat over the C&D last time but can do much better than that and rates a big threat.
