Verdict
Two disappointing types dominate this. ZABARAJAD, sixth in the 2000 Guineas at the Curragh, started 2/9 for what looked the formality of a Tipperary maiden but was beaten by a 33/1 chance. He'll be short enough here and it would be no shock if President Lincoln, placed seven times in his 10 career starts, were to prove too strong though this trip looks a little short. Miss Gardenia made a promising debut over a mile at the Curragh then found Sligo's 1m2f on soft ground too much for her. She can prove best of the remainder.
