Formscan By John O'Riordan - A promising fourth on his introduction at Killarney last month, ZARAK PASHA(4) can open his account. Slowly away on that occasion, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt stayed on nicely to be beaten less than two-lengths. That form has already received a boost with his fifth placed stablemate winning next time. Given that the O'Brien juveniles tend to improve from their debut, the son of Zarak holds leading claims. Curragh runner-up Victory Speech rates the main danger. A stable second string, he stayed on well and should appreciate the additional furlong now. Thomas Chippendale, who holds a Group One entry, may also be capable of getting involved on his debut.
