Zaidi is penalised for his bumper victory and has now been beaten at short prices in all four starts over timber. Prince Palace was a 250/1 chance when chasing home Mahon's Way over 2m3f at Naas where he had Chigorin, a stablemate of the winner, just over a length back in third. Both will be suited by the longer trip but O'MOORE PARK, bought for £240,000 after scoring between the flags in 2021, can defy a long absence. He wasn't suited to racing in bumpers but still managed three placed efforts and staying should be his game.
