Verdict
Like most of his stablemates, Utmost Zeal has been badly out of form in recent weeks and didn't exactly inspire confidence on his chasing debut at Clonmel in June. He's almost certain to do better at some stage and should get into the frame but EQUITY SWAP (NAP) may have too much for him here. Henry De Bromhead's dual Flat winner ended last year with a maiden hurdle victory and reappeared with a very good run in a big field at Punchestown in April. He will have needed his run 10 days ago at Cork and can begin his new career with a victory. Company Coming has plenty of experience over the bigger obstacles but doesn't appear to have made progress from his initial runs and Dandridge has been beaten a long way in his two starts over fences.
