ALGONQUIN had a favourite's chance in the 8.30 at Naas last night and Jim Bolger likes running horses under penalties so a chance is taken that he'll turn up here and take this. Rummaging is very useful at up to 7f but has only run once at this trip. The small field could enable him to get competitive and he was staying on strongly over a furlong shorter at Gowran. Strait Of Zanzibar, who wasn't far behind that day, is more at home over this trip with the winner and a decent weight pull puts him in the frame. Breathe Easy has done all of his winning over further but looks certain to make a bold bid from the front.
