This is a quite well-contested handicap with several holding decent claims. Zanjabeel was raised 6lb for winning at Tramore but shouldn’t be far away again. Paul Townend keeps faith with MR ANTOLINI, who is certain to improve on a first run of the year at Punchestown. He gets a tentative vote even though Runyon Rattler and Alterno are previous course winners and Rachael Blackmore takes a useful 3lb off the in-form Camlann. Danequest has every chance of reversing Tramore running with Zanjabeel at the revised weights and is also worth considering.
