MASAFF (NAP) was pitched into Group 2 company here last month but was no match for the smart Madhmoon and could only finish third, with Cosmic Horizon well beaten.

Guaranteed enjoys top rating after a fine run in the Group 3 Killavullan Stakes here last week and has to be respected but Zander was beaten in a Listowel nursery and will need to step up a gear.
