A few of these are closely matched on official ratings but the three-year-old CANNONBALL probably has the most scope. After wins in lesser company at the Curragh and Roscommon, Ger Lyons’ colt appreciated the step up in trip in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last month and ran his best race so far. Zawraq ran a cracker on his belated reappearance in a Listed race at Listowel but there is a big question mark regarding stamina over this extra quarter-mile and that recent run may have left its mark. Detailed has every chance on her fourth in the Park Hill at Doncaster and Glamorous Approach would also go close if bouncing back from a poor run at Gowran but the others have a mountain to climb on these terms.
