In depth

Verdict

Zeb's Fantasy was only beaten a head over this trip on debut at Limerick and has also been placed in two tries over shorter trips. She is probably the one to beat but we'll give another chance to GOSSIP CENTRAL, who didn't handle soft ground on a return visit to Sligo where she had finished second over 7f previously in June. Kapaw kept on well when fourth over 6f at Navan last week and also goes on the short-list and Clear Spirit is another likely improver. Ms Brinkleys was third at Dundalk last month but may always be better on that surface.
