Jonny Levins places his horses expertly and Zippy is still on a fair mark despite completing a double. His young rider is excellent value for his claim and another big run is expected. Usa is one of the most versatile horses in training and arrives in winning form having scored over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, though he may find this on the short side. Guanabara Bay's penalty for a narrow victory at Down Royal on Friday gives him plenty to do while Storm Ranger is 13lb higher than when gaining his only victory to date at Tipperary. Serefeli has a chance on his run behind Eagle Spirit at Naas but this can go to WAITAKI (NAP). Dermot Weld's filly won over 6f at Dundalk and has been staying on strongly over 7f in her subsequent starts. She's on a very fair mark and should be tuned up for this.
