Credit The Giver completed a double in the spring but is now 12lb higher than his latest success. Zorba The Greek won a handicap at Gowran in May but is now 11lb higher though he was only headed on the line at Dundalk last week. The three-year-old POWER STRUGGLE looked certain to win over the track and trip last time but was caught close home by Brontide, who was receiving 8lb. Andy Oliver's colt can go one better though Windsor Beach looks certain to win soon after two very good runs in similar company. Specific Gravity seems best at Dundalk nowdays.
