It's difficult to know what to make of Drillmaster, who has completed a hat-trick at Dundalk. He's 7lb higher than last time and this looks a stiffer test. Sister Blandina was sent to Bath to lose her maiden tag last month and did it nicely so she should go well despite an 8lb rise. ZEBGREY has never won a race and tackles a mile for the first time but he was staying on very strongly over 7f at Listowel on Sunday and is taken to finally get off the mark. Intense Stylist should be winning soon as she ran on nicely over 7f at Tipperary last month and if handling this quicker ground should reach the frame.
