MOUNT TABORA (NAP) was caught in the close stages at the Curragh last time having strayed from a straight line and blinkers are applied today. The Ballydoyle colt gets the vote to confirm running with fourth-placed Third World and open his account. Power Of Now made a promising start when not beaten far at Leopardstown and Wargrave was placed over 6f at the Curragh on his introduction. Zander failed to show the expected improvement at Down Royal last time but it’s too soon to write him off.
