Verdict

Zigger Zagger had looked a decent chasing prospect on his debut at Down Royal in March and was in the process of producing a good run when falling at the last at Kilbeggan earlier this month. He has an obvious chance while Exit Seven should prove a better chaser than hurdler judged on his opening run over the track and trip where he had Drumhart just behind. However, DAWN FLYER finished in front of the pair of them that day and, as that was only her third start over fences, she's taken to make further progress and land this. Show And Go was progressive over hurdles but hasn't shown much in two starts over fences at Kilbeggan while Meadowlands makes her debut over the bigger obstacles.
