Verdict
Capture The Action is 0-21 and ran better when stepped up to 2m3f at Cork. Storm Flight ran his best race for some time at Wexford last month when attempting to concede 17lb to Ricky Langford but was beaten over seven lengths. The winner is up 8lb which makes this tougher while ZINAT is raised 7lb for his hat-trick bid. But the latter has had a couple of battles with Ashton Court in recent weeks and they can stand the grey in good stead for this. Papal Count was in touch with every chance when falling two out in the latter of those races so has to be respected if none the worse. Mezyan and Arctic Sofia were engaged in the 2.00 at Clonmel yesterday.
