FormscanBy Donal Murphy - ZENTOPIA was an eye-catcher on debut at the Curragh and should appreciate this step-up in trip to a mile. Out the back in the early stages, the Gavin Cromwell-trained bay was doing all his best work towards the finish, coming home a never nearer sixth. He was just half-a-length behind Starspangledwaves and that one since gave the form a significant boost by scoring impressively on his next start. Cromwell is also represented by the twice-raced Quick Blessing who has definite claims. Timely Boost is given second preference with Colin Keane aboard. He stepped forward nicely from his debut, finishing fourth over 7f here earlier in the month and the Zoffany chestnut looks sure to go close. It'll be interesting to see how newcomers Sea Of Cortez and Whispering Royal fare in the market. The latter represents the shrewd Barry Fitzgerald and he is out of a full-sister to Bullish Luck, a five-time winner at the highest level in Asia.
