Zanjabeel had been in very good form on the Flat and over hurdles before digging his heels in and refusing to race at Bellewstown last week. That wasn't the first time he'd done that so he's difficult to recommend. Edification makes a quick reappearance after a very moderate run over hurdles at Wexford on Saturday while Il Piccolo Grande generally runs over much further. MONTEVERDI was racing in much better company last season and though showing little in three starts since being gelded he's dropped to his lowest ever mark and can take this for Jamie Osborne.
