Verdict

Teacher's Pet completed a double in the autumn before running well under a big weight in a Fairyhouse handicap. She fell in the Paddy Power last time but this is much less daunting. CAPPACURRY ZAK (NAP) has really found his form and came home 12l clear in a novices' chase at Limerick. He jumps and stays and loves the ground so looks the one to be on with his rider's claim a massive bonus. Minella Till Dawn hasn't recaptured his form of a year ago and was well behind when falling at Leopardstown while his stable companion Fire In His Eyes, a winning bumper and hurdler, hasn't convinced over fences so far. Oscar Lantern has had problems with his jumping but reached a place for the first time over fences at Limerick and it wouldn't take much more to get involved here.
