UTMOST ZEAL started favourite for his debut on the point-to-point course here in February and was well clear when falling at the last. He can gain compensation on his debut under Rules though the market could prove the best guide. Beau Et Sublime has a pedigree suited to middle-distances on the Flat and has to be of interest while Boston Oscar is related to six winners and should make a nice jumper in time. Haddington Road, runner-up in a point at Fairyhouse in May, is another likely to do better with a greater test of stamina.
