My Design won over timber at Galway, when Sphagnum was a long way behind, but was engaged in the 7.20 at Kilbeggan last night. Smart hurdler SALVADOR ZIGGY makes a quick reappearance after an impressive round of jumping at Tramore to remain unbeaten over fences and can complete a hat-trick. Solness completed a double in the spring and has twice been beaten by the very useful Hercule Du Seuil subsequently including in a Galway Grade 3 last time. Toss Again is also unbeaten over the bigger obstacles having completed a double in the Galway Blazers Handicap.
