The form on the flat shown by Cyborg in the UK would be just about good enough to land this and, as he showed his wellbeing by scoring over timber at Ballinrobe last month, he looks sure to go well from what looks a fair mark. ZARINAVA has proved herself a more than useful hurdler and beat My Petra in a Grade 2 at Doncaster in February. She ran well enough back on the level at Leopardstown at the end of last month and can get back to winning ways. Eagle's Pass attracted plenty of support when falling at Tipperary earlier this month and is no slouch on the flat as he showed when scoring from a 3lbs lower mark at Leopardstown last May. South Wing returned to action with a victory at Wexford but ran a shocker on his only subsequent start at the Curragh.
