Henry De Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore teamed up to win this last year but it's significant that the jockey has been allowed to ride Galon De Vauzelle here. Paul Rothwell's charge, a winner between the flags and over timber, has never scored over fences but has been placed eight times. ZETTABYTE has never won but put his jumping problems behind him at Downpatrick last time. With this longer trip certain to suit, he can open his account though the mare Sainte Dona made a very positive chasing debut at Thurles and her allowance will aid her cause.
