FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Gerard O'Leary-trained JABBAR can maintain his rapid progress by making a winning return. A consistent handicapper on turf last season, the six-year-old improved each time he was asked to step up in trip. Having arguably run a career best when third over this distance at Naas in October, the Galileo Gold gelding looks the one to beat. A winner on the all-weather at Newcastle for previous connections, he should have no issues with this track. Falcon Eight, who finished one place behind Jabbar at Naas, has to be of interest. Although yet to tackle an artificial surface the veteran has been running well of late. Prairie Dancer is another with limited experience on the all-weather but he comes here on the back of a win over fences at Thurles.
