ZEFIRO DODVILLE won his only start between the flags a little under a year ago and is by a noted NH sire. He’ll be more of a force when sent hurdling but should still have the pace to make a winning debut under Rules for a leading yard. Jodie Townend partners Midleton Rare, who is probably still improving, but Locorotondo has spent more than a year on sidelines and looks fully exposed while Rocco Boyo’s second at Limerick in the summer came over a much longer trip.
