Zaarito aiming for clear round Colm Murphy is keeping his fingers crossed Zaarito can bounce back to form in the Naas Directors Plate Novice Chase at Naas on Sunday. The eight-year-old was beaten just a neck by Arkle Trophy favourite Captain Cee Bee at Naas back in December and then bolted up at Leopardstown over Christmas. However, he has suffered two heavy falls on his two subsequent starts and Murphy is just hoping for a clear round this weekend. "He's in good form and obviously after his last couple of races the main thing we want is a clear round, anything after that would be a bonus," said Murphy. "Touch wood, he's schooled well and I think he's actually a good jumper, he just seems to lose concentration now and again. "He's not entered at Cheltenham but if all goes to plan this weekend, we'll probably look at the Powers Gold Cup at Fairyhouse."
