Zahee has a very long absence to overcome. A 200,000gns purchase by Goldolphin, he had four runs for them, the latest a year ago, before transferred to Ado McGuinness for £16,000 in July. I KNOW I CAN tested positive for a banned substance and was disqualified after finishing first past at Sligo but has run well enough in subsequent starts to suggest he can make amends. Awkwafina has improved with every run though could find this on the short side but the trip suits Sindhia, runner-up in a decent Limerick maiden. Big White Chief should be winning soon on the balance of his form while Laurel Grove has produced her best form on this track and will have needed last month's run at the Curragh.
