Oisin Orr is one of the more experienced of the young riders here and his mount Azzuri, a winner over fences at Ayr in April, made a very promising start for new connections at Gowran where he will have found 1m1f too short. Less Of That wasn't far behind in third having gone up 10lb for an earlier victory at Tipperary but with Johnny Murtagh's yard going so well, NEAR KETTERING, who was staying on when runner-up over 1m2f at Leopardstown on Thursday, can go one better. Zeftan is returning after a long break but all of his runs last season were at the Curragh and he won twice so he has to be respected.
